North Dakota ICE detentions spike 75% as emergency petitions flood federal courts
Feb 6, 2026 · Bismarck, ND
Seven emergency habeas corpus petitions were filed in North Dakota federal courts over three months, coinciding with a 75% national increase in ICE detentions over the past year. The petitions challenge a new policy denying bond hearings to many individuals arrested in the interior of the U.S. Two cases resulted in the release of petitioners.
