"Cummings has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to immediately release 13 detainees held in Texas, Missouri and other states that both the government and plaintiffs agree were detained in violation of the Castañon Nava settlement that prohibits warrantless immigration arrest in Illinois. By Friday, DHS must hand over documents showing the status and flight risk of 615 people the plaintiffs suspect ICE arrested in the state without a warrant between June and early October."
"Lawyers for the government said it will present "a significant challenge" to gather the required documents and have not ruled out appealing the judge's order. They also noted that at least 12 people among the 615 arrested in Chicago by ICE from June to early October are considered high flight risks. Cummings said he would keep high-risk individuals detained and that any person released who violates the terms of the program will be sent back to detention."
A judge ordered immediate release of 13 detainees held outside Illinois who were found to have been detained in violation of the Castañon Nava settlement prohibiting warrantless immigration arrests in Illinois. DHS must provide documents by Friday detailing status and flight risk for 615 people allegedly arrested in Chicago without warrants between June and early October. By Nov. 19 DHS must supply an updated list of people arrested by Border Patrol and ICE in Chicago. By Nov. 21 at least 313 low‑flight‑risk individuals must be released on bond into a monitoring program while their cases are assessed. The government warned of logistical challenges and possible appeal, noted at least 12 high flight risks among the 615, and the judge said high‑risk individuals will remain detained and violators of release terms will be returned to custody.
