U.S. ICE faces criticism over detention‑center inspections, fatal shooting and child deportation plans

A CBS analysis found that 15 of the 45 ICE detention centers that house 500 or more detainees have not been inspected for more than a year, and five others have no recent inspection records. The reduced oversight follows a policy shift that lengthened inspection intervals, raising concerns among human‑rights groups about unchecked conditions that have been linked to a rise in detainee deaths.

In Houston, the family of 52‑year‑old construction worker Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is demanding a full investigation after ICE agents shot him during an arrest in the city’s East End. The family says the agents were in unmarked vehicles, and they dispute the agency’s claim that Salgado Araujo attempted to ram an officer.

Community organizers in North Carolina reported five arrests during ICE raids in Charlotte and Greensboro, describing the use of civilian‑clothed agents and unmarked vehicles.

Separately, the Project Florence filed a habeas‑corpus petition in federal court to block the proposed transfer of 108 unaccompanied migrant children from an Arizona shelter to facilities in Texas and Louisiana, arguing that the move would accelerate their deportation and violate due‑process rights.
