A federal judge has ordered the release of more than 600 individuals detained in Illinois as part of the Trump administration\u2019s immigration enforcement operation, CNN affiliate WLS reported, marking a setback for federal efforts to expand detention and deportation of illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, ruled Wednesday in favor of attorneys from the National Immigrant Justice Center and the American Civil Liberties Union, who argued that more than 3,000 people had been arrested between June and October during \u201cOperation Midway Blitz.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the order, 615 detainees must be granted bond by noon on November 21. The ruling applies to individuals not subject to mandatory detention and who are not considered significant security threats,\u00a0the report said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all being awarded bond for 615, but how is that process going to happen?\u201d said Mark Fleming, an attorney with the National Immigrant Justice Center, during a news conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He told CNN that those who were ordered released \u201care probably all over the country\u201d and would need to be located.<\/p>\n

According to a Wednesday news release from the National Immigrant Justice Center, those detained were taken into custody by ICE agents in the Chicago area between June 11 and October 7.<\/p>\n

Fleming, who led the lawsuit alleging that federal agents violated a 2022 settlement agreement prohibiting warrantless arrests in the region, said the organization believes at least 1,100 of the 3,000 individuals arrested have since voluntarily left the country, stating they \u201cgave up\u201d on fighting their cases.<\/p>\n

In response to the ruling, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the decision \u201cputs the lives of Americans at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt every turn, activist judges, sanctuary politicians, and violent rioters have actively tried to prevent our law enforcement officers from arresting and removing the worst of the worst,\u201d McLaughlin said in a statement to CNN Wednesday. \u201cNow an ACTIVIST JUDGE is putting the lives of Americans directly at risk by ordering 615 illegal aliens be released into the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear if the Trump administration is appealing the ruling, though that seems likely. Meanwhile, federal attorneys have requested a stay until next Friday, according to Fleming.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of this, all of the tactics of (senior Border Patrol official Gregory) Bovino, all of the tactics of (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) have been unlawful in the vast, vast majority of arrests,\u201d Fleming said.<\/p>\n

The ruling comes amid heightened tensions over racial profiling and constitutional rights \u2014 affecting both documented and undocumented individuals \u2014 as the Trump administration\u2019s large-scale deportation effort continues to target people of all ages, including families, children, and suspected criminals. Federal agents have made arrests outside court hearings, during traffic stops, and in workplace raids.<\/p>\n

One of those recently detained was Diana Galeano, a teacher at Rayito de Sol Day Care in Chicago. Video of her arrest \u2014 showing ICE officers entering the facility and escorting her out \u2014 has drawn widespread outrage from parents and community leaders.<\/p>\n

In a separate decision on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Jeremy C. Daniel, another Biden appointee in Illinois, granted a habeas corpus petition filed by Galeano last week, finding that her detention was unlawful.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Court has recognized that Diana and scores of others like her should not be in custody indefinitely,\u201d her attorney, Charlie Wysong, said in a statement regarding Daniel\u2019s ruling. \u201cThis is an important step on Diana\u2019s path to returning home where she belongs.\u201d<\/p>\n

ICE is expected to continue its enforcement operations in Chicago. \u201cWe aren\u2019t leaving Chicago,\u201d McLaughlin told CNN in a statement, responding to reports that Bovino planned to leave the city. McLaughlin noted that street crime has declined since the launch of \u201cOperation Midway Blitz.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
