Trump admin sued by Honduran family detained by ICE including six-year-old son with leukemia

Immigration Policies and Enforcement - The Trump administration's immigration policies are perceived as ruthless, particularly concerning family separations and the treatment of detained immigrants [1] - ICE's courthouse arrest policy is being challenged as unlawful and unconstitutional, violating the Fifth Amendment due process clause and the Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizure [9][10][11][12] - The administration is criticized for targeting law-abiding non-citizens who are complying with legal processes, rather than focusing on criminals [13][14] Systemic Issues within the Immigration System - Immigration judges, as employees of the Department of Justice (executive branch), lack independence, raising concerns about the fairness of deportation proceedings [17][18] - Memos were issued to DHS lawyers to file motions to dismiss in immigration court, to immigration judges to grant these motions immediately, and to ICE to arrest law-abiding people coming to court [19] - Reforming the immigration system to grant immigration judges more independence would require an act of Congress [20] Impact on Immigrant Communities - The administration's actions send a "terrifying message" to immigrant communities, discouraging them from engaging with the legal system [15] - Despite the risks, many immigrants continue to attend immigration court hearings, believing in the promise of America and seeking humanitarian relief [15]
