Masked ICE agents detained several immigrants who were summoned for appointments Wednesday afternoon at the agency’s Lower Manhattan office, pictures showed. Federal agents were seen escorting at least four immigrants out of the US Immigration Court at Federal Plaza after the individuals had reported for scheduled appearances under the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program. The program targets immigrants at various stages of deportation proceedings and typically requires check-ins every few weeks or months – with several weeks’ notice given in advance.
