US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have begun arresting foreign nationals with expired US visas at airports, including spouses of US citizens, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.
Skilled foreign workers awaiting visa extensions, former exchange visitors and other migrants with pending immigration applications are also among those being targeted.
Some of the arrests were carried out discreetly by plain-clothes immigration officers at check-in counters and arrival gates.
