概要

皮茨法官实质上恢复了拜登时期对移民法院逮捕的严格限制
皮茨表示,美国移民海关执法局和移民审查办公室的行为专断且反复无常
短期牢房的延长拘留措施也被驳回

纽约,6月23日(路透社)——加州一名联邦法官撤销了特朗普政府在全国范围内扩大移民法院逮捕范围、以及延长非公民在短期设施内拘留时长的政策,认定美国移民海关执法局(ICE)及另一政府部门的行为“专断且反复无常”。

加州北区联邦地区法官P·凯西·皮茨于周二撤销了ICE的两项政策:一是废除此前对移民法院逮捕的限制,二是允许将被拘留者在短期牢房内关押最长72小时。他同时也撤销了美国司法部移民审查执行办公室出台的类似政策,该政策取消了对移民法院逮捕的限制。

这起诉讼源于一名寻求庇护者在离开旧金山移民法院的例行听证会时被捕,长达71页的裁决推翻了特朗普政府移民执法政策中的关键条款。由美国前总统拜登任命的皮茨法官实质上恢复了拜登时期的政策:将移民法院逮捕限制在特定情形内,并将短期设施内的拘留时长上限设为12小时。

自美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普今年1月连任以来,其政府加大了对涉嫌非法入境美国移民的逮捕力度,作为激进驱逐计划的一部分。

美国国土安全部总法律顾问詹姆斯·珀西瓦尔在X平台上批评该裁决,称其是“服务于反美、开放边境议程的赤裸裸的司法激进主义”。

裁决显示,此前的指导方针将法院逮捕限制在诸如国家安全威胁、迫在眉睫的危险以及对构成公共安全风险人员的“紧急追捕”等情形。法官认定,特朗普政府未能按照《行政程序法》的要求,为废除此前的政策提供“合理的解释”。

“80年来,国会一直要求联邦机构三思而后行,”法官在裁决中写道,并补充道,法律要求“行政部门至少要为其选择的行动路径提供合理的理由”。

Summary

Judge Pitts effectively restored narrow Biden-era limits on immigration courthouse arrests
Pitts said ICE and the immigration review office acted arbitrarily and capriciously
Longer detentions in short-term cells also turned aside

NEW YORK, June 23 (Reuters) – A federal judge in California vacated the Trump administration’s nationwide policies expanding arrests at immigration courthouses and the duration for detaining noncitizens in short-term facilities, finding the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and another government arm “arbitrary and capricious.”

U.S. District Judge P. Casey Pitts of the Northern District of California on Tuesday vacated ICE’s policies that had rescinded previous strictures on arrests at immigration courthouses and allowed detainees to be held in short-term cells for up to 72 hours. He did the same for a similar policy undertaken by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review that removed limits on courthouse arrests.

The 71-page ruling, issued in a case brought by an asylum seeker arrested upon departing a routine hearing at a San Francisco immigration court, struck down key parts of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies. Judge Pitts, appointed by former U.S. President Joe Biden, effectively reinstated Biden-era policies that limited arrests at immigration courthouses to narrow circumstances and capped detentions in short-term facilities to 12 hours.

Since U.S. President Donald Trump retook office in January of last year, his administration has ramped up arrests of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally as part of an aggressive deportation push.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival criticized the ruling on X, calling it “naked judicial activism in service of an anti-American, open borders agenda.”

Previous guidance limited arrests at courthouses to circumstances such as national security threats, imminent danger and “hot pursuit” of someone posing a public safety risk, the ruling said. The judge found that the Trump administration failed to provide “reasoned explanations” for rescinding previous policies as required under the Administrative Procedure Act.

“For 80 years, Congress has commanded federal agencies to think before they act,” the judge wrote in his ruling, adding that the law requires “an agency at least provide sound reasons for following its chosen course.”
