In this Oct. 22, 2018, photo U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surround and detain a person during a raid in Richmond, Va. ICE's enforcement and removal operations, like the five-person field office team outside Richmond, hunt people in the U.S. illegally, some of whom have been here for decades, working and raising families. Carrying out President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policies has exposed ICE to unprecedented public scrutiny and criticism, even though officers say they're doing largely the same job they did before the election, prioritizing criminals.

FILE- In a Dec. 11, 2018 file photo, Nikki Joly appears for a preliminary examination in Jackson County District Court in Jackson, Mich. Joly is charged with first degree arson stemming from a Aug. 10, 2017 fire at Joly's home. Michigan police say the transgender, gay rights activist tried to fabricate a hate crime by setting his home on fire, but the man's attorney is questioning the evidence. Attorney Daniel Barnett said the evidence is circumstantial and doesn't provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Joly set the August 2017 fire that killed five pets at his home in Jackson. (J.
