A federal judge, appointed by former President Joe Biden, is blocking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting illegal aliens at courthouses, a practice considered by law enforcement to be the safest way to apprehend those eligible for deportation.
On Tuesday, Judge P. Casey Pitts, appointed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by Biden in 2023, issued an order that will halt ICE’s ability to broadly arrest illegal aliens at courthouses across the United States.
“Because the record before the Court demonstrates that ICE … failed to provide reasoned explanations for their actions, the Court concludes that each of the challenged policies is arbitrary and capricious in contravention of the Administrative Procedure Act,” Pitts wrote.
Pitts argued that preventing ICE agents from arresting illegal aliens at courthouses would not prevent the agency from arresting some illegal aliens at courthouses so long as they fall under “defined circumstances.”
“Were it true that vacatur of the 2025 courthouse-arrest policies would be hugely disruptive, as the government insists, surely the government could point to some evidence of disruption resulting from the suspension of those policies within ICE’s San Francisco area of responsibility since December 2025 or to evidence of disruption during the time period that the prior policies were in place. It has not done so,” Pitts writes.
The courthouse policy, according to experts, was vital to the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda, as arresting illegal aliens in the confines of a courthouse typically is the safest way for ICE agents to conduct such immigration enforcement.
“When a judge sentences a defendant, the defendant is taken into custody. If an alien is ordered removed by an immigration judge, the same should happen,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) General Counsel James Percival wrote in a statement.

Time to fire this Bidenskyyyy butt boy. He’s aiding and abetting thieving illegal aliens against Americans. Friggin’ PIG.
I myself am relieved to be ruled over by the judiciary.
It’s the new math.
Didn’t the Supreme Court say district judges cannot issue nationwide injunctions?
Will they EVER enforce it? Or did I misunderstand?
Is this judge saying that courthouses are some kind of non-US territory?
He doesn’t have the jurisdiction period let alone the authority.
He’s just flexing his sphincter muscle........
Arrest the judge.
Pitts thinks he’s he’s He-Man , I HAVE THE POWER ,LOL
So arrest the judge.....
NEW: Migrants in Mexico told me they are glad Democrats have worked to defund DHS/ICE and they are waiting for Trump to not be president so they can enter the U.S.
"But that is okay, they should remove [DHS funding]."
"Once he leaves, we will head north. Why not?"

Here goes the “independent” judiciary!
“Because the record before the Court demonstrates that ICE … failed to provide reasoned explanations for their actions, the Court concludes that each of the challenged policies is arbitrary and capricious in contravention of the Administrative Procedure Act,” Pitts wrote.
I am rather curious as to how the Administrative Procedure Act could possibly be relevant to ICE arrest policies.
Another Biden Blockhead Judge. The Democrat Party is a disgrace.
This judge’s ruling is likely to be overturned. Let’s say a judge issues an arrest warrant after the deputy district attorney provides evidence that the illegal alien stole property. This judge is saying that he can block another judge’s arrest warrant. This is an easy case to win.
