The senior judge had already found that immigration and customs enforcement officers were not following their own laws in arresting and detaining people in Colorado.
Congress authorizes warrantless arrests, but only in narrow circumstances.
And if ICE agents decide to detain someone, they're supposed to put them through a flight risk assessment.
They weren't doing that in 2025, according to lawyers, and the ACLU sued.
ICE has yet to get into compliance, though, on a ruling from last year.
So now a judge this week ordered more training on warrantless arrests for ICE agents.
That's Alison Sherry reporting.
The now 46-year-old Egyptian national told police at the time of the attack that he wanted to, quote, send a message about Israel.
But in court for his sentencing, he told the judge if he had to do it over again, he wouldn't and that he was sorry.
He then said he believed in justice and he wished Colorado had the death penalty so he could be sentenced to it.
Victims told the judge the anti-Semitic attack has left them with lingering trauma.
Dr. Rahel Halpern was injured that day.
The man still faces federal hate crimes charges, and the death penalty is a possibility in that case.
For NPR News, I'm Alison Sherry in Boulder.
Jeanette Vizquera has lived in Colorado since 1997 and has worked in cleaning, retail and moving businesses.
She's also been an activist for labor and immigrants' rights.
Though she's never had legal status, multiple immigration judges have granted her stays and given her work authorizations.
For a time during the first Trump administration, she lived at a church to avoid deportation and was named one of the most influential people that year by Time magazine.
But earlier this year, she was taken into immigration custody and has been there ever since.
A judge has now granted bond, which her family says it will pay, so she should be released within a day or two.
