Judge Halts Immigration Courthouse Arrests

A federal judge has halted immigration agents from making arrests inside immigration courts nationwide, ruling the government failed to justify its sudden policy shift — a move that could deter people from appearing in court. Citing a 1946 law requiring agencies to provide clear reasons for their actions, the judge criticized the lack of transparency, especially since arrests were often conducted by plainclothes agents and detainees were held in nearby cells for extended periods. This nationwide ruling follows a similar but state-only decision in New York, and while officials argue it’s judicial overreach and undermines immigration enforcement, the decision marks a major turning point in how immigration cases are handled across the country.
