btnewsroom reports that ICE agents are allegedly using court databases to monitor, track, and detain individuals — including those who are victims of crimes or who come forward to report them. In Providence, Rhode Island, plainclothes ICE agents reportedly detained a woman who had been wrongfully arrested after calling the police to report domestic violence. Diego, a local social worker, recounts witnessing the incident outside the courthouse.

This report is deeply intertwined with the work at the Asiyah Center, as it highlights the very systems of fear and criminalization that survivors—especially immigrant survivors—face when seeking safety. The Asiyah Center was founded to be a refuge for women and children escaping domestic violence, homelessness, and systemic injustice. But when survivors are afraid to call the police or go to court out of fear that ICE may detain or deport them, it creates yet another barrier to safety and healing.

What happened in Providence is not an isolated case. We work with survivors every day who are forced to choose between staying silent in dangerous situations or risking detention by reporting abuse. The reality is that ICE’s presence in or around courthouses not only punishes victims for seeking help—it actively deters others from doing the same.

At Asiyah, we advocate for a world where survivors—regardless of immigration status—can access protection, justice, and healing without fear. This includes pushing back against policies and practices that criminalize survival, offering legal and immigration support, and ensuring our spaces remain trauma-informed and community-centered.
