At least eight immigrants were recently arrested by ICE at the John F. Kennedy International Airport while they were dropping off friends for a flight to Central America, according to Gothamist/WNYC. The arrests appear to be part of ICE Operation Noble Guardian, which targets adults who allegedly crossed the border with children that aren’t their own in order to be released from ICE detention faster. Families who are apprehended at the border are released faster due to federal guidelines. The children are then allegedly flown back to Central America to partner with another adult. Lawyers say that immigrants who were arrested were not dropping off children but friends and family.
