Federal Judge Bars ICE From Making Arrests in Immigration Courts

A federal judge has barred ICE from making arrests in immigration courts across the United States. This decision stems from a class-action lawsuit filed in California and applies nationwide. The ruling follows reports of federal immigration officers conducting targeted detainments at a U.S. immigration court in Manhattan, New York City, where officers were seen surrounding individuals, including a father and son, and waiting for respondents to depart from their hearings to execute arrests.
