Under Pressure From Trump, ICE Is Pushing Legal Boundaries Confrontations with judges are grabbing attention, but more quietly a pattern of questionable arrests shows the extent to which the administration is willing to test norms and laws.

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said.
