"Every single person who has been impacted by ICE's erroneous interpretation of their own policy should be made whole. That means reopening their cases, freeing them if they're being detained, and if they've been deported, allowing them back to continue their cases here in the United States."
"We've witnessed thousands of New Yorkers showing up to 26 Federal Plaza going to court for their check-in. These are individuals who are literally following the law, yet they are being targeted and arrested in a place where they should feel safe."
The Justice Department admitted that ICE misrepresented information to justify mass arrests at immigration courts, prompting outrage from attorneys and advocates. Federal prosecutors revealed that a memorandum cited to defend these arrests did not support the practice. The New York Civil Liberties Union plans to address the implications of this revelation, emphasizing the need for justice for those affected. Many individuals were detained at 26 Federal Plaza, with significant numbers being families and children, highlighting the impact of these arrests on the community.
