💨 Abstract

Under the Trump administration, ICE has started focusing on detaining immigrants in and around courts, instead of just conducting raids or making stops at transit areas. This practice, which has extended to multiple states, has raised alarms among lawyers and activists who assert that courts should be safe spaces for due process. Human rights experts say that these enforcement measures pose significant threats to proper judicial procedures and are likely to deter migrants from appearing in court.
