ICE is locking up more immigrants than ever. Judges say the ‘radical’ approach is illegal.
Story by Kyle Cheney and Myah Ward • 14h

The Trump administration is systematically locking up immigrants while they contest the government’s attempts to deport them, even if they’ve lived in the United States for decades and have no criminal record.

This indiscriminate mass detention — a dramatic shift in immigration enforcement policy that began on July 8 — has been declared illegal by dozens of federal judges, who have described it as a flagrant perversion of long-standing law, policy and common sense.
 
But the administration says its reinterpretation of the law is both legal and a key prong of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation strategy. They say no matter how long someone has resided illegally in the country — “for 25 minutes or 25 years” — the law doesn’t just allow, it requires, their detention while awaiting deportation. And they hope this interpretation encourages many to depart the country voluntarily.

The result has been hundreds of frantic lawsuits by immigrants who have been arrested without warning at work, at routine check-ins with immigration authorities or after immigration court proceedings. Immigration lawyers and advocates contend they’re being sent to overcrowded and unsanitary detention facilities.

That damn Trump is following the law to get rid of people here illegally so I can see why the media is upset.

Don't want to be held in a detention facility?

Then don't illegally break into the country ... problem solved!

The only shift in enforcement policy is that the law is actually being enforced instead of ignored. Dramatic? perhaps.

But when did enforcing the law become illegal???
