Get today's headlines by email In a 71-page ruling issued Tuesday, Judge P. Casey Pitts found that the policies were arbitrary and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. He said officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Executive Office for Immigration Review failed to provide adequate justification for the changes. Court Arrest Policy ChallengedThe challenged policy permitted federal agents to arrest noncitizens appearing before immigration judges. The practice began during the Trump administration and allowed ICE officers to take individuals into custody while they were attending immigration court proceedings. The policy has drawn criticism from community groups and Democratic lawmakers, who argue that courthouse arrests have created fear within immigrant communities and led to tense confrontations outside courtrooms. Pitts rejected the government's rationale, writing that ICE was not arresting people for unrelated criminal or civil violations but was instead detaining noncitizens based on the same immigration matters for which they had appeared in court. The judge said the policy rested on a “false premise” that the government had properly withdrawn 2021 guidance limiting arrests at immigration courthouses. He concluded that officials had failed to provide a rational explanation for eliminating those restrictions. Detention Policy Also Struck DownPitts also blocked a separate detention waiver that allowed ICE to hold detainees for more than 12 hours after arrest. According to the ruling, some detainees at an immigration facility in San Francisco were held longer than 12 hours, including overnight and, in some cases, for several days. The judge found that the policy violated detainees' Fifth Amendment rights because they were subjected to what he described as punitive conditions of confinement. He also said ICE had not adequately considered alternatives to address detention-capacity problems that prompted the policy. Administration Pushes BackThe ruling drew a sharp response from the Department of Homeland Security. DHS General Counsel James Percival argued on social media that individuals ordered removed by immigration judges should be taken into custody, comparing the process to criminal defendants being detained after sentencing. He described the decision as judicial activism that undermines immigration enforcement. Similar Ruling in New YorkThe California decision follows a separate ruling issued last month by Judge P. Kevin Castel, who barred federal agents from making immigration arrests at courthouses in Manhattan. Castel similarly concluded that the administration's decision to withdraw previous limits on immigration court enforcement actions was “arbitrary and capricious.” Join the discussion?

Get today's headlines by email Gen. Christopher Donahue will relinquish command on July 2 as commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa and NATO's Allied Land Command, according to an Army statement. His deputy, Maj. Gen. Christopher Norrie, will assume his duties on an interim basis. Military Leadership Changes ContinueDonahue's departure adds to a growing list of senior military leaders who have retired or left their positions since Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took office. Hegseth has advocated reducing the number of senior officers, promoting a policy he describes as "less generals, more GIs." A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Donahue built his career in special operations, commanding Delta Force units in Iraq and Afghanistan before leading the 82nd Airborne Division from 2020 to 2022. Role in Afghanistan WithdrawalDuring that assignment, he oversaw security at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport during the final stages of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. On Aug. 30, 2021, Donahue became the last American soldier to leave the country, boarding the final C-17 transport aircraft as the nearly two-decade U.S. military mission came to an end. The moment was captured in a widely circulated night-vision photograph. The Afghanistan withdrawal has remained a frequent target of criticism from Hegseth and President Donald Trump. The administration has launched a new Pentagon review of the operation despite previous examinations by the Pentagon, U.S. Central Command, the State Department and Congress. Praise Despite Political DebateDespite political criticism of the withdrawal, Donahue received praise from both Republicans and Democrats for his handling of the evacuation. Within military circles, he was often viewed as a leading candidate for the Army's top uniformed positions, including a potential future role as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. According to an Army official cited by the Associated Press, Donahue's departure comes as officials consider reducing U.S. Army Europe and Africa from a four-star command to a three-star command. Focus on Europe ReviewThe possible restructuring coincides with broader discussions about America's military posture in Europe and Hegseth's calls for European allies to assume greater responsibility for their own defense. Last week, Hegseth announced a six-month Pentagon review of U.S. forces in Europe, saying it would assess whether NATO members are moving toward taking primary responsibility for the continent's defense.
