Funny how these same types of judges didn’t do this when Obama and Biden were presidents. Or Bush43 or Clinton
Warrantless arrests by ICE in Chicago area ruled unlawful by federal judge
A U.S. District Judge has ruled Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents violated a previously agreed-upon consent decree over warrantless arrests in the Chicago area and unlawfully detained more than two dozen people in the first months of President Donald Trump’s second administration.
“Collateral arrests” or people arrested while ICE agents are patrolling the street, often without a previously signed warrant, have been a major tactic deployed during the local immigration enforcement crackdown branded “Operation Midway Blitz.”
Now, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings (Biden nominee, who worked with Obama back in 1995 on ACORN and their shady dealings) has imposed limits on when agents can make those kinds of arrests as part of an extended consent decree that will last until Feb. 2, 2026.
Cummings also imposed reporting requirements for ICE to share how many people are being arrested in the Chicago area without a warrant.
Yeah, well, at best, this will only apply to Cumming’s district, per Supreme Court decision.
The ABC7 I-Team has been following this case closely after attorneys with the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) and the ACLU of Illinois accused DHS and ICE in March of violating the 2022 Castañon Nava settlement after the warrantless arrest of 26 individuals during the first weeks of President Donald Trump’s second administration.
Those kinds of arrests have ramped up significantly in the last month, said NIJC attorney Mark Fleming.
They’re in the US illegally. That’s it. The law says they are to be detained and deported.
The NIJC says it will seek the release of hundreds of people they claim were unlawfully arrested, including men arrested during a raid in Elgin where Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was present, and a family detained in Millennium Park last month.
All those arrests are examples of what Cummings ruled is an ongoing pattern of ICE violating the terms of the consent decree.
“If they [ICE] made a warrantless arrest, they need to justify and document the specific information justifying that warrantless arrest,” Fleming said during a Wednesday news conference.
These people will do anything to protect illegal aliens. But, hey, once again, I recommend that Trump and Holman direct ICE to go after the illegals in Republican areas first, which will cause many to flee to sanctuary cities like Chicago, forcing those cities to spend a lot of money on the illegals, burdening their systems.
If they [ICE] made a warrantless arrest, they need to justify and document the specific information justifying that warrantless arrest,”
He was there. Right in front of me.
The District Judge is merely pointing out that ICE (federal) agents need to abide by their own rules!

When conducting enforcement actions, ICE Officers shall, at the time of arrest or as soon
as it is practical and safe to do so, identify themselves as immigration officers in accordance with 8 C.F.R. § 287.8(c)(2)(iii).
As federal law enforcement officers, ICE Officers lack federal statutory authority to
enforce state or local vehicle or traffic laws. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1357 (a)(4), (a)(5) / INA §§ 287(a)(4), (a)(5). Accordingly, when making vehicle stops, ICE Officers shall NOT state to the driver or occupant(s) of a vehicle that the purpose for a stop is related to any vehicle or traffic laws and regulations.
As soon as practicable after making an arrest under 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2) / INA § 287(a)(2)
pursuant to a vehicle stop, in addition to the documentation requirements for warrantless arrests described above, the ICE Officer also must document the facts and circumstances surrounding the vehicle stop that resulted in a warrantless arrest in the narrative section of the alien’s I-213.
Not sure that making sure ICE agents obey their own rules makes the judge a leftist. Does William believe/feel that only leftists obey the law??? LOL
Pro-fascists like William believe/feel that any and all brutality directed towards the “terrifying” Mexican “rapists and killers” is justified.
Listening to Bad Bunny in your car? Get stopped, thrown on the ground, handcuffed, arrested… released the next day when you prove you’re legal. “Show me your papers!”
Did you know your drivers license is not good enough for ICE?
Pro-fascist Fat Donnie is starting a Civil War. Good luck.
Does Rimjob ever stop whining/lying/copy/pasting?
ICE arrests
But
Detainee numbers only going up slowly.vst this rate the number of detainees will increase
by about 25000 per year.
Taking 40 years to reach 1 million.
