== Overview ==
'''Samantha Camlica''' is a deportation officer with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), assigned to the New York Field Office. She has been repeatedly identified by legal observers, journalists, and advocates as a central figure in immigration-enforcement operations conducted at or near Federal Plaza in New York City.
Multiple documented incidents describe enforcement actions carried out immediately following immigration court appearances, where individuals pursuing lawful or pending immigration processes were detained upon exiting the building. These operations have drawn sustained criticism due to their targeting of people actively complying with legal requirements, including asylum seekers and individuals attending scheduled court hearings.
Camlica has been named in connection with several of these enforcement actions, including incidents characterized by witnesses and legal representatives as coordinated courthouse or courthouse-adjacent arrests. Such operations have been widely reported as part of a broader ICE enforcement strategy in New York, despite public assurances that courthouses would not be used as routine arrest sites.
ICE has not publicly disputed Camlica’s involvement in these operations. No criminal charges have been filed against her. Documentation on ICE List reflects reported actions, video evidence, court filings, and contemporaneous accounts from affected individuals and observers.
This page aggregates verified and pending documentation relating to Camlica’s role in these enforcement activities. Additional incident pages linked below provide detailed evidence, sourcing, and contextual analysis.

== Notes ==

* Arrests following court appearances have been the subject of public scrutiny and litigation, particularly where individuals were actively complying with legal processes.
