Miami ICE Raids Expose Shift in Immigration Enforcement

Miami ICE Raids: Family Separated, Policy Questioned Miami, FL – June 11, 2025 – A New York Times investigation reveals significant changes in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Miami under the Trump administration. The report, captured in a compelling video, shows ICE agents, accompanied by State Department officials, arresting a man in front of his family. The man, Oslay Fernandez Alonso, a Cuban national, was not the initial target of the operation; his brother was. "Today, the sky fell on me," said Oslay Fernandez Claro, Alonso's father, in a heartbreaking interview. The video footage and interviews highlight the increased collaboration between ICE and other government agencies, leading to wider-reaching arrests. ICE officer Carlos Nuñez defended the actions, stating that even without a prior crime, "he's committed a crime the minute he enters the United States without admission." However, the video also captures the emotional distress of the family and raises questions about the broader impact of these intensified enforcement policies on families and communities. The report concludes by noting the significant increase in ICE activity and the resulting public backlash, particularly in Los Angeles, where anti-ICE protests have intensified. The video serves as a powerful illustration of the ongoing debate surrounding immigration enforcement and the limits of federal power.
