ICE says it notified Washtenaw County sheriff before arrest outside court
- Immigration enforcement agents arrested Teodoro Dominguez Rodriguez, a Honduran national, outside a Charlottesville courthouse on April 22, 2025.
- These courthouse arrests stem from a policy introduced during the first Trump administration allowing immigration agents to detain specific targeted individuals at courthouses, a practice previously avoided.
- The arrest involved three plainclothes agents, one masked, who declined to show identification or warrants, prompting public concerns about disruption and people becoming less willing to attend court hearings.
- Legal officials, including Nick Reppucci, warned that courthouse arrests could deter crime victims, witnesses, and parties in civil proceedings, while ICE defended its officers as trained to ensure public safety.
- The enforcement surge has drawn widespread judicial criticism, protests, renewed legal battles, and calls for protective legislation as authorities balance immigration goals with preserving court access.
