However, ICE and CPB agents targeted a much wider demographic, detaining natural-born citizens, immigrants in good legal standing, and constitutional legal observers alike. Because the Trump administration rolled back the longstanding “sensitive locations” policy in 2025, these agents were able to target schools, hospitals, churches, daycare centers and more.
