ICE Appeals Court Order Barring Green Card Interview Arrests
Feb 2, 2026
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is hearing a Department of Justice appeal challenging a 2024 federal court order that prohibited ICE from arresting immigrants during green card interviews with U.S. citizen spouses. The case stems from a class-action lawsuit filed by the ACLU on behalf of individuals arrested or at risk of arrest during Form I-130 marriage-based adjustment of status interviews. Legal challenges have been filed regarding the arrests.
