If the judge orders this, CBP and ICE should bus them to the judge’s neighborhood in Sanctuary City Chicago to release them. Or refuse to release them while waiting on appeal. But, my first suggestion is more fun
Judge considers releasing hundreds arrested in Chicago-area immigration enforcement ‘blitz’
A federal judge is weighing whether to release hundreds of people arrested by federal agents as part of an immigration “blitz” that has shaken the Chicago area.
Attorneys for the National Immigrant Justice Center have argued hundreds of undocumented migrants arrested by federal immigration agents were arrested in violation of a consent decree in place in Illinois and five neighboring states.
That consent decree limits the circumstances in which agents can make warrantless arrests while enforcing civil immigration laws.
At a court hearing this Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings is expected to share more insight into whether he will provide “equitable relief” in the form of ordering federal immigration agents to release those people on interim “alternatives to detention,” which include ankle monitor programs or regular check-in appointments with immigration agents virtually via mobile apps.
Last month, Judge Cummings ruled agents had violated a previously agreed-upon consent decree over warrantless arrests in the Chicago area known as the 2022 Castańon Nava settlement.
Biden is no longer president. Federal law deems these people to be illegally present in the United States, for which the penalty is a small fine, possible jail time, and deportation. At a minimum, depending on if they have other warrants/convictions or have previously been deported. Still, boot them all. That’s federal law, not what Judge Moonbat feels.
After reviewing arguments on both sides, ABC7 Chief Legal Analyst Gil Soffer said it may not be that simple.
“There’s not an obvious answer here,” Soffer said. “In the plaintiff’s favor, they have the language in the consent decree which empowers the court to exercise, really almost any equitable power.”
Soffer continued, “On the other side, there’s a statute that makes it very difficult for the district court, federal district court, to require the government to take or not take any action in the immigration space.”
Yeah, those would be the federal laws about catching and deporting. If you release them they are gone.
Meanwhile
Immigration agents have new technology to identify and track people
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is acquiring powerful new surveillance tools to identify and monitor people.
They include apps that let federal agents point a cell phone at someone’s face to potentially identify them and determine their immigration status in the field, and another that can scan irises. Newly licensed software can give “access to vast amounts of location-based data,” according to an archive of the website of the company that developed it, and ICE recently revived a previously frozen contract with a company that makes spyware that can hack into cell phones.
The federal agency is also ramping up its social media surveillance, with new AI-driven software contracts, and is considering hiring 24/7 teams of contractors assigned to scouring various databases and platforms like Facebook and TikTok and creating dossiers on users.
Good.
