Overview
- Those not subject to mandatory detention must be granted bond by noon on November 21 and moved into ICE’s Alternatives to Detention program, with bond reported at $1,500 and exceptions for people deemed public-safety risks.
- Judge Jeffrey Cummings also barred deportations for the covered group and set deadlines for DHS to turn over detainee lists and status reports, including an initial release of 13 people ordered by Friday at noon.
- DHS criticized the decision as dangerous, requested a stay, and is weighing an appeal, while government lawyers said only a small number reviewed so far qualify as high-risk.
- Plaintiffs say locating detainees will be difficult because many were transferred across states, and attorneys told the court roughly 1,100 people have already been removed or agreed to depart.
- Protests continued outside the Broadview ICE facility with 21 arrests on Friday as advocates press claims over conditions and as prior court limits on crowd-control tactics remain in place.
