- A New York federal court has upheld the ability of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest individuals in New York City courthouses.
- This decision continues to support the expanded authority granted to ICE for courthouse arrests.
- Immigrant rights groups had mounted a legal challenge against this practice, arguing it was an extension of Trump administration policies.
- The ruling has been a setback for these groups, who claim such arrests create a chilling effect on immigrants, discouraging them from participating in the judicial system.
- Despite the resistance, the court’s decision affirms ICE’s capacity to pursue and detain individuals on immigration matters within the courthouse setting.
- This ruling could have significant implications for immigrants and their interactions with legal and judicial processes in New York City.
