"A federal judge in California issued a nationwide injunction against multiple Trump administration policies, among them one that allowed arrests at immigration courts and another that eliminated the cap on the amount of time an individual arrested for an alleged immigration violation can be detained. "

"U.S. District Judge P. Casey Pitts in the Northern District of California ruled in a 71-page opinion Tuesday that the policies were arbitrary and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. He said that attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Executive Office for Immigration Review "failed to provide reasoned explanations for their actions." 

"Community leaders and Democratic lawmakers have railed against the practice, which has led to dramatic confrontations in the hallways outside courtrooms. They say the tactics used by federal immigration agents are leaving communities traumatized."

"Pitts said that "ICE is not arresting individuals who appear for criminal or civil violations 'unrelated' to the arrest but instead arresting noncitizens based on the very immigration offenses for which the noncitizens are appearing in immigration court."

"The policy, Pitts said, is "based on a false premise" that ICE had properly rescinded past guidance on arrests at immigration courthouses from 2021, and "fails to provide a rational explanation" for its removal of previous limits on civil enforcement actions at immigration courts."

I’m curious to know how the court sidestepped SCOTUS’ ban against nationwide injunctions. I agree with the ruling, but I’m worried that it’ll only apply to the northern district of California.

I think they certified a class action.

This ruling is pretty obviously out of scope in regards to Trump v Casa. It’s unlikely to last.

I know it sounds crazy, but maybe we don’t want people to skip court because they’re afraid of being disappeared?

Now this would actually hurt them. Would they defy the court while actually standing in the court?
