Federal Judge Blocks Trump Admin's Plans for Civil Immigration Arrests in NYC Courts

A federal judge in New York has largely blocked US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting civil immigration arrests at several Manhattan immigration courthouses, citing concerns over public health and safety. The ruling applies to ICE's efforts to detain individuals who are facing deportation proceedings but have not yet been convicted of a crime. The decision is seen as a significant victory for immigration advocates who have long criticized ICE's enforcement tactics.
