Many are challenging their detention using habeas corpus filings only to be arrested again, in violation of court orders
ICE rapidly re-arresting immigrants released after winning court petitions Many are challenging their detention using habeas corpus filings only to be arrested again, in violation of court orders Cris Seda Chabrier in New York Mon 2 Nov 2026 07.00 EST Immigrants who have been granted release from detention after winning habeas corpus petitions in court are being re-arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Guardian has identified at least 20 cases nationwide relating to people who were detained after being released on habeas corpus petition in the last year, according to court records, attorneys and media reports.
Increasing arrests and detentions have led to immigrants filing more than 91,000 habeas petitions as they seek to challenge their detentions, according to research by ProPublica. More petitions have been filed since 25 January than during the past three presidential administrations, including Trump’s first term, combined, the outlet found.
A petition of habeas corpus – Latin for “you shall have a body” – challenges in a federal court the government’s right to hold someone in custody while their main legal case is proceeding.
If they re-arrest in contradiction of the judges orders, it should be a mandatory 5 year prison sentence for every ICE Ape involved in the situation, including any management who ordered it.
“We can sort of win the battle, but we’re going to lose the war. Because in the long run, they’re still going to be able to do what they want to do, which is arrest people and hold them for long periods of time,”
You know, because fascism. Warrantless searches, denial of the right to trial, deporting random brown people to random countries just to appease the cruelest intentions of their cult leader.
Jesus fucking christ go vote.
We voted our way into this. The lying is the issue
How is this not contempt of court?
Are they making up some other charge or something?I said this to them and they pepper sprayed me and put a gun up to my temple and sexuality assaulted me and my daughter to punish me for speaking.
Apparently “you are in contempt” isn’t able to stand against violence and destruction. Who knew? I wonder what does?
There is no more social contract and no more law. The sooner people accept this, the better.
Do you think an organization already acting illegally would care about the court’s contempt? Who will make them care?
The courts holding them in contempt just means the feeling is mutual.
Seriously though, the article says that some judges have held immigration officials in contempt, but didn’t say what that meant. were they arrested? Fined?
Just hitting those quotas because no one said arresting the same people didn’t count.
Can we just get a deal going where one guy gets arrested a few thousand times on paper and we all go home?
Monkey’s paw: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is never getting out of the arrest-jail-appeal cycle.
So its the “law enforcement” equivalent ofa petulant child spreading the peas around on the plate to make it look like they ate more than they did, except the peas are human beings and instead of a petulant child its… Well, a petulant child with frightening power over others.
Worst timeline.
Stop fuckin claiming that’s ICEs invention! Russia has been doing this since 2018!
Campers no camping!
