ICE blocked from relying solely on databases to target people for being in the country illegally
A federal judge in California has blocked Immigration and Customs Enforcement from relying solely on flawed databases to target people for being in the country illegally.
ICE is also blocked from issuing detainers to state and local law enforcement in states where there isn’t an explicit statute authorizing civil immigration arrests on detainers, according to the judge’s decision. Tens of thousands of the requests are made each year to allow ICE agents additional time to take people suspected of being in the country illegally into federal custody for possible deportation.
These errors, according to the decision, have led to arrests of U.S. citizens and lawfully present non-citizens. From May 2015 to February 2016, of the 12,797 detainers issued in that time frame, 771 were lifted, according to ICE data. Of those 771, 42 were lifted because the person was a U.S. citizen.
