ICE Arrests Spark Outcry in San Antonio: Immigrants Arrested After Court Hearings

Protests Erupt in San Antonio Over ICE Arrests Outside Immigration Courts. Families and activists rallied outside a San Antonio courthouse on June 3, 2025, denouncing the recent practice of ICE agents arresting immigrants immediately after their court hearings. "They ambushed us right as we left the courthouse," stated Eduardo Duarte, whose wife was arrested. Attorney Laura Flores of American Gateways explained that ICE is using this tactic to push immigrants into expedited deportation proceedings, limiting their access to legal representation and a fair hearing. ICE responded to Noticias Telemundo, asserting that their actions are legal and consistent with standard procedures. The protests highlight concerns about the treatment of immigrants within the US legal system and the potential for abuse of power.
