Federal courts are ordering the release of detained immigrants, but the Trump administration has

Описание: Federal courts are ordering the release of detained immigrants, but the Trump administration has been too slow responding, leaving people jailed a lot longer than what's allowed 🚨 A recent article in the New York Times exposes how this problem is overwhelming Minnesota's federal courts. Here's what's happening. When immigrants are illegally detained, their attorney can file a habeas corpus lawsuit. This is a petition you file in federal court. This is a lawsuit trying to compel the government to justify in court why someone is being held in custody, what legal reasons did they have to keep holding the person. Federal judges in Minnesota have been consistently ruling that many immigrants were detained unlawfully and then ordering their immediate release. But here's the thing, ICE has been delayed in complying with some of these orders, keeping people locked up or even flying them across the country to a different detention site instead of releasing them promptly ⚖️ One prosecutor for the Department of Justice named Julie Lee had tried resigning. She was handling 90-something cases at the same time and she had zero training, but her bosses at the Department of Justice refused because they couldn't find a replacement for her. She broke down in court recently, telling the judge "the system sucks, this job sucks". Federal judges are furious, with Judge Jerry Blackwell in Minnesota declaring that the Justice Department, DHS, and ICE are not "above the law". The tool at issue here, this habeas corpus lawsuit, has proved critical for detained immigrants. It's your constitutional right to challenge unlawful detention in federal court, and my law firm is actively taking these cases, suing the federal government to free unlawfully detained immigrants from immigration detention 💪 We've had tremendous success in federal court, and I'm honored to join the fight in supporting detained immigrants.
