    Court Officers Can’t Hold People Solely Under ICE Detainers, Massachusetts Justices Rule

    By JESS BIDGOOD

    BOSTON — The highest state court in Massachusetts ruled on Monday that court officers do not have the authority, under state law, to hold people in custody based solely on the requests from federal immigration authorities known as civil detainers.

    The ruling, which came amid a continuing clash between the Trump administration and some cities and states over immigration enforcement, was immediately claimed as a victory by the state attorney general’s office and immigration advocates. They maintained that it applied to a wide range of law enforcement officials in Massachusetts.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
So wouldn't that then apply to all federal requests to hold people for federal crimes, or is this more leftist legal selectivity?
The Republic is lost.
