For months, immigrants in New York City showed up to their required court hearings and were arrested

For months, immigrants in New York City showed up to their required court hearings and were arrested by ICE inside the courthouse. 🚨 A federal judge has now largely blocked those arrests in several Manhattan immigration courts. ⚖️ The ruling comes after the Trump administration reversed a long-standing policy that had kept immigration courts off limits for enforcement actions. 🏛️ Families were separated without warning, and some immigrants were detained for days without being able to contact loved ones. The judge later reversed his own earlier decision after the government admitted it had relied on the wrong policy in court. 📄 Under the new order, ICE can only make courthouse arrests in very limited situations. Federal courts continue to play a critical role in checking government overreach and protecting due process rights for immigrant communities. ✊ If you need help with an asylum case or getting a loved one out of immigration detention, send the word “CONSULT” in a direct message. 💬
