【Focus: Summary of U.S. immigration-related news on Tuesday】
At 8 p.m. Washington time on November 18, 2025, the Associated Press released a press release stating:
In addition to the news about upcoming immigration sweeps in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi, there were multiple developments on Tuesday regarding the deployment of federal agents to local jurisdictions.
1. In North Carolina, federal agents have expanded their immigration crackdown to areas surrounding the state capital, Raleigh, with at least one immigrant-populated suburb expressing concern, as restaurants closed and many people stayed home.
2. In Tennessee, the office of Governor Bill Lee stated that the National Guard will continue to support the anti-crime task force ordered by Trump in Memphis, while the state attorney general appealed a judge's order prohibiting the military from operating in the city.
3. In New York, a judge dismissed a legal challenge against the policy prohibiting immigration officers from arresting individuals in state courts, stating that the federal government cannot force states to cooperate with these law enforcement efforts. The city's financial officer was arrested during a protest at an immigration detention facility and decided to go to trial, claiming this move would highlight the actions of federal authorities.
4. In Wisconsin, a federal prosecutor said that they are currently negotiating a plea deal with a judge accused of assisting immigrants in evading agents.
Additionally, it is worth emphasizing that in Vatican City, Pope Leo XIV strongly supported the American bishops who condemned the Trump administration's immigration crackdown on that day, urging the American people to listen to their opinions and treat immigrants humanely.
