Court Ruling Addresses Constitutional Concerns in Immigration Detention

U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel extended a preliminary injunction requiring ICE to ensure detainees at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis have immediate legal access.
The ruling addresses constitutional issues from the Trump administration's 'Operation Metro Surge,' which involved detaining noncitizens without legal counsel.
Attorney Jeffrey Dubner testified that contacting clients during transfers was often impossible, with compliance described as 'fitful at best.'. Judge Brasel criticized government attorneys for misquoting legal precedents, emphasizing due process is not a game of keep-away.
Court protections remain in place pending further proceedings, with The Advocates for Human Rights welcoming the decision.
Government officials claim detentions have dropped to levels below 100.
