ProPublica documented nearly 50 incidents of ICE agents breaking car windows during arrests under Trump's second term — compared to just 8 such incidents in the previous decade — with use-of-force experts saying the tactic was rarely used before January 2025. The article provides specific cases including a pregnant woman, a family with a disabled child, and others, detailing injuries including open wounds and embedded glass. While ICE claims officers use minimum force and there's no official policy change greenlighting the tactic, the data shows a clear shift in enforcement aggression tied to arrest quotas and promotion of officers who embrace more forceful tactics. Independent reporting confirms ICE arrests averaged 902 per day from Trump's inauguration through March 2026 compared to 294 per day under Biden, though arrests have declined following Minneapolis incidents and leadership changes.
