A federal judge in California vacated the Trump administration's nationwide policies expanding arrests at immigration courthouses and the duration for detaining noncitizens in short-term facilities, finding the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and another government arm "arbitrary and capricious."
U.S. District Judge P. Casey Pitts of the Northern District of California on Tuesday vacated ICE's policies that had rescinded previous strictures on arrests at immigration courthouses and allowed detainees to be held in short-term cells for up to 72 hours.
