Judge vacates immigration arrest policies at courthouses

A federal judge in California has vacated policies from the Trump administration that allowed for increased arrests of immigrants at courthouses. The judge found these policies to be arbitrary and in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.

• The ruling was issued by U.S. District Judge P. Casey Pitts in the Northern District of California.
• The judge's opinion was detailed in a 71-page document.
• The vacated policies included expanded arrest powers and longer detention durations for noncitizens.
