From WBEZ News:
The 615 detainees are from a list of roughly 1,800 arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Chicago area between June 11 and Oct. 7, and there could be more to come, Jon Seidel reports for the Chicago Sun-Times.
It’s not clear how many of the people covered by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings’ order remain in the country. The judge said he doesn’t want anyone released who poses a risk to public safety; he’s giving the Justice Department a chance to identify any such person.
But Cummings said he’s trying to restore the status quo that existed before the Trump administration recently changed its interpretation of immigration law. That policy shift imposed mandatory detention on people across the country who previously would have been given a chance for a bail hearing.
Agents detained many of the people while they were working, including 20 landscapers and four ride-share or taxi drivers. Seven were also arrested at an “immigration-related hearing,” Cummings said, and another 11 in public places like a park, gas station or Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru.
