US EditionHonduran Family Freed From Detention After Lawsuit Against ICE Courthouse Arrests
TEXAS, JUL 3 – The family challenged ICE's courthouse arrest policy citing constitutional rights violations amid a mass deportation campaign targeting asylum-seekers, marking the first children-involved lawsuit, lawyers said.
- Ms. Z, a mother from Honduras, along with her two young children, was detained outside an immigration court in Los Angeles and subsequently held for weeks at a Texas facility before being released earlier this week.
- The arrest occurred amid a nationwide increase in ICE courthouse arrests starting in May, part of a mass deportation effort challenged by a lawsuit filed for the family, believed to be the first involving children.
- The family lawfully arrived in the U.S. through an appointment system established during the Biden administration, and their detention is claimed to have infringed upon their Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections, despite having no criminal history and seeking asylum.
- Attorney Kate Gibson Kumar emphasized that the Z family's freedom highlights the impact of resisting unjust and un-American policies, while Professor Mukherjee affirmed that the family’s detention was unwarranted from the outset.
- After release, the family moved to a shelter in South Texas and plans to return to Los Angeles to continue their asylum case, with concerns for their son's health and ongoing ICE enforcement posed by their legal battles.
