DHS Confirms ICE Can Arrest Any Undocumented Immigrant, Denies Detention Limits

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has publicly confirmed that ICE retains authority to arrest any undocumented immigrant nationwide, refuting claims that enforcement is limited to specific groups. This clarification comes amid ongoing immigration policy debates and may signal a hardening stance. The statement is a policy clarification rather than a new directive, but it carries political and operational significance.
