Arrests of asylum seekers in Milwaukee show shifting tactics by ICE agents By Paul Kiefer, Wisconsin Watch |
|
At least 100 immigrants with Wisconsin addresses have entered the defensive asylum process between January 2020 and August 2025, court records show. Most came from Nicaragua, Colombia and Venezuela. Between 2019 and 2024, immigration court judges in Chicago — the court with jurisdiction over most Wisconsin cases — denied roughly 40% of asylum petitions, according to data collected by the nonprofit Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. |
