Dallas Immigration Court: Agents Detain Migrants After Dismissals
Tap title to read story
Federal agents in Dallas detained several immigrants, including two whose cases were dismissed, directly outside an immigration court. This follows a national pattern of increased expedited removals under a Trump administration executive order. The detentions, witnessed by reporters, occurred after immigration hearings were abruptly dismissed. One attorney criticized the actions, citing constitutional concerns and a lack of transparency regarding the detainees' locations. The Department of Homeland Security defended the actions as enforcing the law and using an expedited removal process.
