A spate of arrests at immigration courts across the United States this week has rattled people showing up for hearings and may signal a coordinated attempt at deportations under fast-track authority that President Donald Trump sharply expanded soon after taking office.

An attorney told KERA she saw at least three men detained after they had been told their deportation cases were dismissed. "When they step out in the hallway, that's where ICE is waiting for them.”

It's a new tactic that is happening in other cities across the country, but it appears immigration officials may have started in Phoenix first.
