NY Nonprofits Want ICE Docs On Courthouse Arrest Policies
Nonprofit groups suing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over courthouse arrest policies pressed a Manhattan federal judge to force the agency to produce documents and testimony concerning arrests it conducts outside immigration courts.
This comes after ICE's revised policy concerning such arrests in Manhattan was put on hold.
Courthouse Arrest Policy The courthouse arrest policy is a point of contention between nonprofit groups and ICE. Nonprofit groups claim that the policy is unlawful and violates the rights of immigrants.
Documents and Testimony Nonprofit groups are seeking documents and testimony from ICE regarding arrests conducted outside immigration courts. They are also seeking information on how ICE determines which individuals are subject to arrest in courthouses.
Conclusion
NY nonprofits continue to fight for immigrant rights and are demanding transparency from ICE regarding its courthouse arrest policies.
