- A federal court in New York has upheld the decision to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to continue arresting individuals at courthouses in New York City.
- This ruling comes after a legal challenge from immigrant rights groups who opposed the Trump administration’s policies that expanded ICE’s authority in this area.
- The decision maintains ICE’s ability to conduct enforcement actions in and around courthouse premises, which has been a contentious issue between federal authorities and immigrant advocacy organizations.
- Immigrant rights groups argued that courthouse arrests deter immigrant communities from accessing legal systems due to fear of detention and deportation.
- The court’s decision underscores ongoing legal and policy debates surrounding immigration enforcement practices under the previous Trump administration.
