· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge has prohibited immigration arrests at U.S. courthouses, marking a significant setback for the Trump administration's policies. U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts criticized the lack of rationale behind the arrests, highlighting their 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 the enforcement of immigration laws. The decision reflects ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement practices in the U.S.
