Judge tosses DOJ suit against N.Y. for courthouse ICE arrests ban
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Mae A. D'Agostino granted New York's motion and dismissed the Justice Department's lawsuit, upholding the Protect Our Courts Act.
- New York's Protect Our Courts Act, enacted during President Donald Trump's first term, was driven by rising courthouse enforcement and bars civil immigration arrests, protecting family and household members and court travelers.
- The court's written opinion leaned on the Tenth Amendment and therefore upheld two executive orders signed by then‑Gov. Andrew Cuomo including Executive Order 170, rejecting federal preemption arguments.
- By dismissing the suit, the court dealt a legal setback to the Trump administration, ensuring New York state courts remain usable without fear of targeting; the Justice Department did not immediately respond.
- Recent moves include a July Illinois dismissal and restrictions in Connecticut and Rhode Island, amid ICE enforcement activity and 71.5% of detainees with no criminal convictions.
