Court Receives Letter Correcting Government's Misstatements on ICE Policy

Mar 24, 2026 · New York, NY

Federal court received a letter from Assistant U.S. Attorneys withdrawing material misstatements of fact regarding the 2025 ICE Courthouse Arrest Policies that were made in prior briefs and oral argument. The government admitted that the May 27, 2025 ICE Guidance on civil immigration enforcement in courthouses does not apply to immigration courts, contradicting their previous legal arguments. The case involves a challenge to ICE policies that broadened circumstances for arrests in or near courthouses.
