"ICE allegedly fabricated its authority for more than a year to arrest individuals attending their legally mandated hearings at immigration court in Lower Manhattan, according to a new filing by the U.S Attorney's Office."
"Director of Immigrants' Rights Litigation Amy Belsher was quick to condemn what is being described as a bombshell admission, which also brings into question the legal veracity of those still in ICE detention."
"For over a year, ICE has claimed that a 2025 memorandum authorized and justified their devastating policy of conducting mass arrests at immigration courts."
ICE agents were observed making arrests at immigration courts without proper authority, as revealed in a filing by the U.S. Attorney's Office. The agency misrepresented its jurisdiction, claiming a 2025 memorandum justified these actions. This admission raises concerns about the legality of ongoing detentions and highlights ICE's disregard for immigrant rights. Legal representatives have condemned the situation, emphasizing the impact on individuals affected by these arrests and the resources wasted in litigation based on false claims.
