Over 400 federal judges have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that the Trump administration is illegally detaining immigrants. This comes as detention numbers under Trump have jumped 75% to 68,000, sparking over 20,200 federal lawsuits from detainees seeking release, according to a Reuters report.
The rulings challenge Trump's departure from a decades-old policy that allowed immigrants living in the US to remain free on bond while their cases proceed. Despite these court decisions, the administration continues to jail people indefinitely.
