ICE made about one to three dozen airport arrests daily last month, a government official said. The arrests now include some people with expired visas who have pending green card or asylum applications. Officers have made arrests near gates, ticket counters and jet bridges, including at Denver and Las Vegas. Airlines want clarity on administrative warrants and whether officers will board aircraft.
