Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, reacting to the post on X: "Trump's ICE publishes a graphic saying they are going to be stopping "ideas" from "illegally" crossing the border. Remind me again whether we're supposed to be a free country?"

In a since-deleted social media post, the immigration enforcement agency declared itself the border thought police in a country that is supposed to believe in freedom of speech and thought.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement claims the post was sent without proper approval, and should have read "intellectual property"

A U.S. judge on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to go ahead with a plan to make immigrants illegally living in or entering the United States register with the federal government or face fines or imprisonment.
