Suddenly, Leftist Judge Want ICE’s “Warrentless” Arrests Restricted

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.
