NEW! Our incredible legal team at @immcouncil.org just secured a victory in federal court, reinforcing a ruling blocking blocking ICE from taking unaccompanied children into ICE detention on their 18th birthday, and re-detaining previously-released teenagers. Proud to work with such awesome lawyers!
BREAKING: A federal court in D.C. has blocked ICE’s unlawful policy of automatically detaining unaccompanied immigrant teens once they turn 18 – and from re-detaining those teens for no reason.

This ruling means youth can stay in safe, supportive settings – not adult jails.

The image of Kristi Noem at CECOT and the saga of the Venezuelans the US government exiled to a notorious gulag should be seared into America's collective memory.

But displays of inhumanity were a normalized phenomenon in 2025.

On Reddit, a post shows the ways in which 287(g) agreements, combined with ICE's mass deportation efforts are making a total hash of the the basic functioning of a fair system — a man in Florida was pulled over for a traffic stop on his way to an asylum interview and is now detained in Colorado!

Rep. Moulton is introducing the NOEM Act to hold ICE officers accountable when they violate constitutional rights.

Anyone who breaks the law should face consequences, and ICE is no exception.

Dem leadership (and Axios) are focusing on this like it's political theater.

This isn't theater. These are legislators and cabinet officials who took oaths to the Constitution.

If a cabinet member violates that, it's the house member's duty to impeach.

Do your jobs.
