Judge bars immigration arrests at US courthouses in a setback for Trump
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge has prohibited immigration arrests at U.S. courthouses, marking a significant reversal of a policy implemented under President Trump. U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts criticized the lack of reasoning behind the arrests, emphasizing the negative impact on individuals attending court hearings. This ruling follows a similar decision made in May by a New York judge, but Pitts' order applies nationwide. The Department of Homeland Security's general counsel, James Percival, condemned the ruling as judicial overreach, arguing that it undermines immigration enforcement. The ruling reflects ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policies in the U.S.
