The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that 13 people were currently in its jail on detainers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “We are providing support and assistance to our Federal partners with the apprehension of illegal criminals in Mobile County,” Sheriff Paul Burch said.

In the first week of his second term, President Donald Trump signed 37 executive orders. Eight of those dealt with immigration. Maria Sahonic legally immigrated to the United States when she was just a toddler.

The employee, who called themself “Mother of Exiles,” provided a list of directives to co-workers including to “do no harm.”

Just days into the new Trump administration, Britt has already been one of the staunchest supporters of the president's anti-immigration agenda.

Across the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are making headlines with thousands of arrests reported in recent weeks.

A memo sent to all superintendents in the state is offering some direction to school leaders if arrests of undocumented individuals were ever to impact Alabama schools.

Two bills prefiled in the Alabama legislature would enhance sentencing of illegal immigrants, and give local police powers to enforce immigration law.

Though ICE has an online tip form for anonymously reporting suspected criminal activity, the agency said it isn't offering $750 rewards.

Anyone, including ICE agents, can enter public areas without permission. Examples of public areas include lobbies, dining areas in restaurants and waiting rooms, according to the National Immigration Law Center, a nonprofit advocacy organization known as NILC.

The administration wants to increase the number of arrests from a few hundred per day to at least 1,200 to 1,500, increasing the chances that non-criminals will be detained.

On Sunday, multiple federal law enforcement agencies participated in an operation related to “immigration enforcement efforts” in Savannah, Cartersville and Atlanta, according to a post on X by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Atlanta.

President Donald Trump took office last week and is already touting federal deportation efforts as arrests and raids are reported across the country.
