Federal judge accuses Trump administration of ‘terror’ against immigrants in scathing ruling
Judge Sykes ruled the Trump policy unlawful nationwide, ordering DHS to notify detained migrants of bond hearing eligibility amid over 20,000 habeas corpus cases filed, court records show.
- On Feb 18 U.S. District Judge Sunshine Sykes in Riverside vacated a Board of Immigration Appeals decision and issued a scathing ruling criticizing the Trump administration's immigration policies.
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reversed prior practice last year, leading the Board of Immigration Appeals to adopt that interpretation, prompting immigration judges to mandate detention, and thousands of immigrants to seek release in federal court.
- Sykes wrote that DHS falsely claimed ICE targeted only the 'worst of the worst,' and said that 'maybe that phrase merely mirrors the severity and ill-natured conduct by the Government.'
- Sykes ordered DHS to notify detained immigrants nationwide that they may seek release on bond, preventing immigration judges from relying on the Board's decision amid more than 20,000 habeas corpus cases.
- Sykes cited two Minnesota deaths as evidence of broader harm, saying the executive branch killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti and Americans expressed deep concern over unlawful acts; November and December rulings found the change unlawful.
