A federal court in Nevada has struck down a Trump administration immigration policy that mandated the detention of nearly all individuals facing deportation, even those with long-term residency and no criminal history.
The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware II on Tuesday, found that the policy violated federal law and inflicted "irreparable harm" on those arrested. This landmark decision marks the first time a class-action lawsuit in Nevada has successfully overturned a Department of Homeland Security directive.
