U.S. federal court orders ICE to end indefinite detention of asylum seekers in New York
New York, December 2 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal court in New York has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement to bring immigrants in front of a judge within 10 days of being apprehended.
New York immigration rights activists celebrated the legal ruling, saying it will protect immigrants’ due process rights, as ICE can no longer subject them to indefinite detention before hearings related to their case. The ruling only affects New York.
