District Judge Casey Pitts called ISIS enforcement practices arbitrary and capricious, noting that the agency allowed the arrest of people appearing at some courthouses but not others.
The judge also says the agency failed to undertake a thorough evaluation of its own orders before implementing policy.
Immigration enforcement was prohibited near criminal and civil courthouses under President Biden, but a 2025 ICE memo cleared the way for arrests when immigration officials believed a potentially dangerous individual might be present at a courthouse.
It also expanded enforcement to include immigration courts where people seeking asylum or those with pending cases must appear.

Wait, this is true?
For more than a decade, expedited removal had only been used in cases where migrants were detained within 100 miles of the southern border,
or if they'd been in the country for less than two years.
In all other cases, unauthorized migrants were granted the same due process rights that apply to anyone in the country, regardless of citizenship status.
But in a two-to-one decision, the D.C.
Circuit Court of Appeals says that ICE can rapidly deport any migrant who can't prove they've lived in the U.S.
for two years or more.
meaning they're not owed any immigration hearing processes, even if they're seeking asylum.
