Judge Nixes Trump ICE Crackdown, Calling It 'Devoid of Rational Explanation

A US federal judge struck down a Trump-era policy allowing courthouse arrests and prolonging detention in immigration cases, calling it 'devoid of rational explanation.' The policy change aimed to reduce wait times at courts handling deportations but was deemed unconstitutional by the judge. The decision further limits the Biden administration's efforts to enforce tougher immigration policies, as the judge has repeatedly ruled against similar Trump-era rules. The ruling effectively nukes a courthouse arrest program implemented under President Donald Trump.
