US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have been a topic of discussion recently.
These raids are enforcement operations aimed at apprehending and removing individuals who are in the US illegally, often targeting those with criminal records or who have ignored deportation orders.
ICE raids can be controversial, with some arguing that they are necessary to maintain national security and public safety. In contrast, others claim that they can lead to the separation of families and the targeting of vulnerable communities.
It's worth noting that ICE raids can be unpredictable and may not always be publicly announced.
According to the latest data we found from the Pew Research Center, the top 5 cities in Alabama with the highest estimated number of Illegal immigrants are:
1. Birmingham-Hoover Metropolitan Area: approximately 17,000 undocumented immigrants
2. Huntsville Metropolitan Area: approximately 12,000 undocumented immigrants
3. Mobile Metropolitan Area: approximately 9,000 undocumented immigrants
4. Montgomery Metropolitan Area: approximately 8,000 undocumented immigrants
5. Decatur Metropolitan Area: approximately 5,000 undocumented immigrants
Please note that these estimates may be on the low side. The previous administration hasn't always been clear with this data.
