Recent reports indicate a significant uptick in arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents within U.S. immigration courts, raising concerns over the treatment of noncitizens. The new strategy aims to expedite deportations and has led to chaotic scenes in courthouses from Houston to Detroit, where individuals have been detained immediately following court hearings. Immigrant rights groups describe these actions as ambushes, calling for judicial intervention to protect due process rights. In various instances, families have expressed distress after their loved ones were detained, often after cases were dismissed. The American Bar Association has launched initiatives to respond to these courthouse arrests, while civil rights organizations are advocating against the rapid deportations that have followed these interventions by ICE. The escalation of arrests has sparked outrage and discussions on the cooperation between immigration judges and ICE, with many questioning the implications for noncitizens seeking justice in the immigration system.
