Federal judge in New York ties Trump admin hands on arrests at immigration courts

U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel ruled ICE officers must temporarily revert to narrower Biden-era restrictions on courthouse arrests while a broader lawsuit proceeds.

Castel said the reversal justified revisiting the earlier ruling "to correct a clear error and prevent a manifest injustice."

"Today's ruling is an enormous win for noncitizen New Yorkers seeking to safely attend their immigration court proceedings," said Amy Belsher, director of immigrants' rights litigation at the NYCLU.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for comment but did not immediately receive responses.
