Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1026 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY, February 3, 2026: ‘ICE FACES” Pictures by Award Winning ZUMA Press Photo-Journalists: A year into his second term, President Trump’s pledge to stage the ‘largest deportation operation in American history’ targeting the more than 10 million unauthorized migrants living in the US has already made an indelible mark on the nation. The focus of Operation Metro Surge, as the Trump administration has branded this latest immigration effort in the Twin City area, also sees confrontations with anti-ICE protesters. The fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis have significantly heightened tensions in the United States, acting as a national tipping point in a deeply divided political landscape. In New York migrants line up in the lobby of the Jacob Javits Federal building in while masked ICE agents in balaclavas stand outside courtrooms with papers bearing photos of their ‘target’ and detain people during this administration’s controversial immigration reform policies. Welcome to ‘ICE FACES’
