'It doesn't line up with reality:' courts overwhelmingly rebuke ICE practices
President Trump’s rhetoric about immigration is not matching up with how policy is playing out in the courts. According to an analysis by Politico, the administration has lost more than 10,000 cases in federal district courts, an overwhelming rebuke by judges of ICE’s practices and due process breaches. “The administration wants the narrative to line up with their campaign rhetoric but it doesn’t line up with reality,” Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, President and CEO of Global Refuge, tells Ali Velshi.
