"The strategy of dismissing cases in immigration courts only to arrest migrants immediately afterwards leaked an unsettling practice by ICE that has caught many off guard."
"Vadzim Bulaty's and his son Aliaksandr's ordeal illustrates a new tactic by ICE, alarming many in the legal community and raising questions about migrants' rights."
Vadzim Bulaty, a Belarusian political asylee, had a distressing immigration court experience when his son Aliaksandr's case was unexpectedly dismissed. Vadzim thought they had secured time to connect his son's asylum application to his own, but ICE officers arrested Aliaksandr right outside the courtroom, facing expedited removal to Belarus. This event highlights a disturbing new strategy by the Department of Homeland Security to meet arrest quotas, alarming legal communities and raising concerns about the due process rights of migrants amid shifting immigration policies.
