Overview
The military has authorized Immigration and Customs Enforcement to use facilities at Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, for detaining migrants with criminal records. This move aligns with the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement efforts targeting unauthorized immigrants. ICE plans to expand operations in Aurora, which has seen surge activity from the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Recent reports indicate that ICE aims to increase arrests nationwide, with certain groups resisting these actions. The role of military facilities in handling civilian immigration matters raises ongoing legal and ethical discussions.
