Blow to Trump: Judge Prohibits ICE Arrests in Immigration Courts
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A U.S. judge has prohibited federal authorities from making arrests in immigration courts, ending a practice that gained traction after Donald Trump took office. Judge Casey Pitts criticized the government's decision to revoke a long-standing policy against such arrests, stating it lacked reasoning and failed to consider the deterrent effect on individuals attending court hearings. This ruling follows a similar decision in May by a New York judge, but Pitts' order applies nationwide. The Department of Homeland Security's legal director, James Percival, condemned the ruling as judicial overreach, arguing it undermines judicial authority in immigration cases.
