Federal judge strikes down ICE courthouse arrest policy nationwide
Original: Federal judge strikes down ICE immigration courthouse arrest policy across the country
A federal judge has struck down US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's policy of arresting migrants at courthouses, ruling it unlawful nationwide. The decision blocks agents from making civil immigration arrests in or around courts across the country. Immigration advocates have long argued the practice deterred people from attending legal proceedings, while enforcement officials defended it as a way to locate people in the country illegally.
Why now: A major court ruling restricts how ICE can conduct immigration enforcement, affecting migrants and court proceedings nationwide.
