A federal judge in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to release over 600 undocumented immigrants from a suburban detention center, criticizing DHS for prioritizing policy over safety concerns and accusing an activist of putting lives at risk. The order comes after a court hearing where immigration advocates argued that the detention center's conditions were unsanitary and inadequate. DHS officials countered that the facility met all necessary safety standards, but the judge ultimately sided with the plaintiffs, stating that the agency had failed to ensure adequate medical care for detainees. The release is set to take place within days, sparking concerns about potential disruptions to immigration enforcement efforts in the area.
