Immigration court arrests spark legal challenge

Migrants are suing to bar the Trump administration from arresting people making appearances at immigration court proceedings.

The class-action suit, brought by migrants who have had cases dismissed or expect to see their cases dismissed, accuses government agencies of a “campaign of courthouse arrests through coordinated policies.”

They say the administration is luring migrants to court hearings after attorneys for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ask for cases to be closed.
