when you read this it is very clear that Wiles thinks she is flexing the administration's muscle. relatedly, it is also very clear that the White House is completely delusional about its standing with the public. they are high on their own supply.

Major decision. In D.C., ICE/CBP can no longer arrest immigrants without a warrant unless they find individualized probable cause of a flight risk. "Viewing all immigrants potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
For the reasons discussed below, plaintiffs’ motion to enjoin preliminarily defendants from
continuing any policy or practice of conducting warrantless civil immigration arrests in the District
without making individualized probable cause determinations as to each arrestee’s risk of escape,
as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2), is granted, and a final decision on the requested certification
of a class and both subclasses will be reserved for a later time. Defendants are preliminarily
enjoined from enforcing their policy of conducting warrantless civil immigration arrests without
probable cause to believe that the arrestee is likely to escape before an administrative warrant can
be obtained; and only plaintiffs’ proposed Unassessed Escape Risk Class is provisionally
certified.
