- A review of federal court records found more than 4,400 rulings since October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is detaining immigrants unlawfully, yet the administration continues jailing people indefinitely.
- Legal filings show immigrant detainees filed more than 20,200 habeas corpus petitions since Mr Trump took office, as judges focus on the administration's shift from a nearly three-decade-old interpretation.
- On Jan 30, US District Judge Andrew Carter ordered a detainee’s immediate release, after Chief US District Judge Patrick Schiltz ruled an 18-year-old had been detained illegally.
- The caseload forced Justice Department offices to divert more than 700 U.S. Justice Department attorneys, with five DOJ attorneys each appearing on over 1,000 habeas dockets, while a conservative U.S. Court of Appeals panel in New Orleans last week reversed release rulings.
- Other appeals courts are set to take up the detention issue in the coming weeks as ICE detention population reached about 68,000 in February, up about 75% from 2025.
