We are urging federal courts to keep basic safeguards in place for undocumented immigrants facing detention and arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). We have filed briefs in two separate cases alongside a multistate coalition, asking the courts to reject unlawful actions by ICE.
AG Rayfield urges federal courts to reject unlawful ICE detention and arrestsAG Rayfield is urging courts to keep basic due process safeguards in place for undocumented immigrants facing detention and arrest by ICE. In one case, the coalition argues that a person held in ICE detention is entitled to a hearing before a judge to determine whether continued detention is necessary. In a second case, the coalition is defending a court order requiring ICE officers to have an individualized reason to believe someone is a flight risk before making a warrantless arrest.“Under the law, the government cannot lock people up without a justification for doing so. The Constitution can’t be set aside for anyone’s partisan political agenda. We’re urging the federal government to simply follow the U.S. Constitution and the laws that have been enacted by Congress.”
