Many are challenging their detention using habeas corpus filings only to be arrested again, in violation of court orders
ICE rapidly re-arresting immigrants released after winning court petitions Many are challenging their detention using habeas corpus filings only to be arrested again, in violation of court orders Cris Seda Chabrier in New York Mon 2 Nov 2026 07.00 EST Immigrants who have been granted release from detention after winning habeas corpus petitions in court are being re-arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Guardian has identified at least 20 cases nationwide relating to people who were detained after being released on habeas corpus petition in the last year, according to court records, attorneys and media reports.
Increasing arrests and detentions have led to immigrants filing more than 91,000 habeas petitions as they seek to challenge their detentions, according to research by ProPublica. More petitions have been filed since 25 January than during the past three presidential administrations, including Trump’s first term, combined, the outlet found.
A petition of habeas corpus – Latin for “you shall have a body” – challenges in a federal court the government’s right to hold someone in custody while their main legal case is proceeding.
You know, because fascism. Warrantless searches, denial of the right to trial, deporting random brown people to random countries just to appease the cruelest intentions of their cult leader.
Jesus fucking christ go vote.
Its go vote, get a gun, train on red dummies for when the time comes.
People have lost faith that there is any candidate willing to fix or even slow this.
Why though? just don’t vote Republican.
For me, it was when Biden’s whole term he didn’t do much to stop Trump or roll back any of the crazy stuff he enacted after being elected on a mandate to do exactly that. I guess specifically the fact that nothing happened to Trump after J6 made me lose all hope in the US political/justice system.
Like I’ll still vote for Democrats because it’s easy, but I have very little faith that it’ll improve anything.
The senate didn’t have 2/3 majority to do whatever Biden wanted so don’t blame Dems or Biden for things they couldn’t do. Simple majority is not enough. The justice department is separate from the president, or supposed to be. It’s not just Biden wins and does whatever he wants. Maybe it seems that way to some who have seen how orange operates illegally, but that’s wrong and not normal for decent presidents. I’m glad you’ll still vote for Dems, but understand what they can do w/o presidency for 2 years, and then they need to win president and enough majority of congress to pass big things. Can’t do that if people don’t understand all this and randomly swing back and forth like dead leaves in the wind.
We didn’t need congress at all when it came time to break the Leahy law to sell weapons for genocide.
Centrist democrats can be effective when it’s the only thing they want to do.
Why have people lost faith?
because the two party system is generally flawed. The republicans take two huge steps back and then they let the democrats do nothing for 4-8 years before continuing their path towards totalitarianism.
What can Dems do w/o enough majority with the presidency, or for the next two years w/o presidency and no 2/3 senate? Yes, maga causes regression for the majority each time so people need to make sure they don’t win anymore, but they don’t, they think big daddy will fix all their troubles from the bad minorities!!
