Federal Judge Orders Release of 13 Detained During Operation Midway Blitz

  • A federal judge, Cummings, ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to release over 600 immigrants detained under Operation Midway Blitz and to refer them to the Alternatives to Detention program.
  • Cummings ruled that 13 immigrants should be released immediately, as the government acknowledged that their arrest violated a court-enforced agreement between the Biden White House and immigration activists.
  • Michelle Garcia from the ACLU of Illinois praised the ruling, stating, 'Today was a good day as the court ordered the immediate release of 13 people who have been wrongfully arrested and detained by federal immigration officials.'
  • Greg Bovino, the U.S. Border Patrol commander, defended Operation Midway Blitz, claiming that the detained individuals were involved in various offenses.
