Day-to-day proceedings in an immigration court today
In the heart of New York City, on July 24, 2025, the Jacob K. Javitz Federal Building played host to a contentious scene. Federal agents, including members of ICE, were present at the immigration court, as part of a new strategy by the Trump administration to expedite deportations.
As Ximena Bustillo, an immigration policy reporter, observed the proceedings, she found herself witnessing the chaos firsthand. Government lawyers were asking immigration judges to dismiss on-going cases, and federal agents were patrolling the halls and even arresting people as soon as they stepped out of the courtroom.
The day's events culminated in a dramatic scene after the court hearing, where federal agents dragged a man away. However, no further information about the man's identity or the reasons for his detainment was provided. The photograph of the event was captured by Spencer Platt for Getty Images.
This new strategy, while aimed at expediting deportations, poses significant risks for immigrants without legal status. The process is often chaotic, causing distress and uncertainty among those involved.
This episode was produced by Sarah Ventre, Avery Keatley, and Connor Donevan, with audio engineering by Jimmy Keeley. It was edited by Anna Yukhananov and William Troop. Unfortunately, the name of the immigration policy reporter who witnessed the chaos on July 24, 2025, in an immigration court in New York City could not be found in the provided search results.
