ICE Arrests 80 at South Carolina Nightclub, Claims Cartel Ties

ICE agents arrested approximately 80 people at a Charleston, South Carolina nightclub in an operation the agency claimed was targeting a cartel-connected venue. Civil liberties organizations reported that most detainees had no criminal records and that the mass arrest swept up patrons based on their presence in the establishment. The operation drew comparisons to warrantless sweep tactics and raised Fourth Amendment questions about mass detention without individualized suspicion.
