US EditionAppeals Court Temporarily Blocks Release of Hundreds Detained in Immigration Crackdown
The court's administrative stay delays release of 615 detainees as arguments over immigration detention rules are set for Dec. 2, impacting deportation policies in Illinois.
- On Nov. 21, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals placed an administrative stay delaying the planned release of as many as 615 detained immigrants and set arguments for Dec. 2, postponing releases expected Friday without public explanation.
- The Castañon Nava settlement and a recent ICE sweep prompted U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings' order to restore pre-Trump-era detention rules after roughly 1,800 arrests between June 11 and Oct. 7.
- Cummings described many of those arrested as unlikely to be gang members or the "worst of the worst," noting 54 people arrested at work included 20 landscapers and four ride-share or taxi drivers.
- The Justice Department is appealing and has asked for a longer stay that the court has not yet granted, while Cummings said about 442 people would be eligible for release after accounting for those already freed or deported.
- The settlement limits warrantless arrests by ICE and partners in Illinois and nearby states, while advocates warn Chicago-area families face weeks more separation during the appeal.
