"Collateral arrests" is the term ICE uses for these, and they ramped up a ton under Trump.
If ICE has a target in a house, they'll maybe detain and question every other person living there and arrest anyone who's undocumented, even if not the priority or target.

I’ll just add, even if you are not in a “danger” or “priority” category, if your neighbor, roommate, spouse, coworker, etc. is, stay alert. Consider options. Too many people who were not targets under Trump 1.0 got swept up as collateral damage.
