He also said he hopes to work with leaders of sanctuary cities rather than against them, signaling a stark difference from Noem\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noem faced mounting criticism over DHS operations, including an immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota this winter, during which ICE agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens. Noem also <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kristi-noem-border-immigration-kennedy-ad-campaign-bc1525f1d10a468c892d0cb5cf3907b0\">drew scrutiny<\/a> over a $220 million DHS ad campaign that had been approved by the president, though the White House denied that claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Latest update: March 23, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ICE deployed to DHS airports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following reports of long lines at security checkpoints across the U.S. during the ongoing partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, President Donald Trump announced March 21 that <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ice-tsa-airport-security-shutdown-mullin-lines-772fd0e633c5d069bfa41b24a6c1481a\">ICE agents <\/a>would be deployed to support the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in their duties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On March 23, reports surfaced of ICE agents at several airports. Trump said the agents would guard exit lanes and check passenger IDs, and would be unmasked while carrying out these operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shutdown, which began Feb. 14 after DHS funding lapsed, has left thousands of DHS workers, including TSA employees,working without pay. Many have called in sick or quit their jobs entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democrats have refused to fund DHS unless changes are made to immigration enforcement practices, including ending warrantless entries and requiring agents to be identifiable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Latest update: March 23, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supreme Court to weigh end of TPS protections for Haitians and Syrians<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April, the Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/supreme-court-migrant-protections-haiti-syria-3b3f42bffff1ca2c3a4e8ec5fc9f1765\">will hear arguments<\/a> over whether the Trump Administration can end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Haitian and Syrian nationals. The program currently allows more than 350,000 immigrants from these two countries to live and work in the U.S. legally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, TPS protections remain in place for Haitians and Syrians. On Feb. 2, a federal judge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/federal-judge-postpones-trump-admins-termination-tps-haitians-rcna257105\">blocked<\/a> the administration\u2019s attempt to end the program for Haitians, and similar efforts affecting Syrians have also been halted by lower courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Latest update: March 17, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Appeals court lets Trump keep fast-tracking deportations to third countries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On March 16, a federal appeals court allowed the Trump administration to continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/government\/us-appeals-court-lifts-block-trump-policy-allowing-fast-thirdcountry-2026-03-16\/\">deporting immigrants<\/a> to countries other than their own without giving them the opportunity to raise safety concerns.

The agency also said it is working to deport the family to Guatemala, their home country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWPEyEgDBxb\/\">SFPD said<\/a> officers responded to a 911 call around 10:00 p.m. on March 22 and determined the situation involved federal immigration officials. While officers remained at the scene, SFPD said it was \u201cnot involved in the incident.\u201d Some local lawmakers have raised concern about whether the response aligns with the city\u2019s sanctuary ordinance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In December, the <em>New York Times <\/em>reported that TSA has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/12\/12\/us\/politics\/immigration-tsa-passenger-data.html\">shared traveler information with immigration officials when individuals are<\/a> suspected of having removal orders, allowing agents to quickly detain and deport them at airports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Latest update: March 23, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>San Francisco immigration court is down to two judges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The San Francisco immigration court<a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2026\/03\/s-f-immigration-courts-gutted-21-judges-down-to-2-after-planned-departures\/\"> is set to only have two judges on the bench <\/a>by mid-March, according to Mission Local, further delaying asylum cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the start of last year, the court had 21 judges. But the Trump administration\u2019s decision to fire a dozen of them and other judges\u2019 decisions to retire and request transfers has hollowed out the courthouses. Citing cutting costs, federal officials have also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvu.com\/news\/decimated-san-francisco-immigration-close-end-year\">decided to close the courthouse on Montgomery Street<\/a> by next year, with services moved to Concord&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Latest update: March 6, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Judge blocks ICE efforts to re-detain San Francisco nanny&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Feb. 26, a San Francisco federal judge<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcbayarea.com\/news\/local\/judge-blocks-ice-re-detaining-nanny\/4043838\/\"> issued a preliminary injunction<\/a> preventing ICE from detaining a 66-year-old immigrant woman. The judge said that ICE needs to hold a pre-detention hearing to determine whether the woman is a danger to the community or a flight risk in order to detain her. ICE, meanwhile, has tried to argue that it is allowed to keep her in detention while her asylum case moves forward.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In mid-February, immigration agents first arrested the 66-year-old woman, an asylum seeker from Russia,&nbsp; who was headed to work in San Francisco\u2019s Diamond Heights neighborhood, sending alarm among immigrant advocates. <a href=\"https:\/\/missionlocal.org\/2026\/02\/mayor-lurie-aware-of-purported-ice-arrest-of-elderly-nanny-in-s-f\/\">&nbsp;A judge ordered her release by that evening<\/a>, responding to a habeas corpus
