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.

wow, so ICE prison is just like regular prison!
It is chilling to watch all of this, and even more chilling to see that no one does anything. History repeats itself.
bureaucracy and human cowardice hard at work!
If they re-arrest in contradiction of the judges orders, it should be a mandatory 5 year prison sentence for every ICE Ape involved in the situation, including any management who ordered it.
5 years? The only way to deal with a Nazi is to kill it. Trump himself wrote an EO plainly stating the federal government will hunt down and kill anti-fascists… they want to kill you just because you want to jail them for being fascist fucks.
“We can sort of win the battle, but we’re going to lose the war. Because in the long run, they’re still going to be able to do what they want to do, which is arrest people and hold them for long periods of time,”
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.
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.
We voted our way into this. The lying is the issue
How is this not contempt of court?
Are they making up some other charge or something?That’s what the masks are for
Find someone that has the balls to actually stop them.
In Louisiana, in the case of another client of Pranzatelli, a federal judge held a senior federal immigration official in contempt of court for violating orders, demanding Ibrahim Mohammed’s release after he had been re-arrested three times by ICE, as first reported by the Banner. Two other federal judges, in Pennsylvania and Minnesota, have also held federal immigration authorities in contempt or threatened to do so.
Attorneys believe that certain re-detentions are connected to the Trump administration’s push to deport people to third countries.
“It’s really tethered to the explosion of third country agreements with primarily African nations in the past four months,” said Susanna Booth, senior attorney at Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, based in Washington DC.
The Trump administration is increasingly sending immigrants who cannot be removed to their home countries, either because the country will not accept them or they have protections from being deported there, to another country entirely, where they don’t hold citizenship and often have no ties. In the past, these immigrants were essentially safe from deportation.
Do you think an organization already acting illegally would care about the court’s contempt? Who will make them care?
There is no more social contract and no more law. The sooner people accept this, the better.
The courts holding them in contempt just means the feeling is mutual.
Seriously though, the article says that some judges have held immigration officials in contempt, but didn’t say what that meant. were they arrested? Fined?
It means nothing. If there exists no one to uphold a law, or to hold someone accountable for breaking said law, then the law doesn’t exist- but only for them.
We still have to abide all laws past present and made up by the chickenshit coward hiding in the Shite House.
Just hitting those quotas because no one said arresting the same people didn’t count.
Can we just get a deal going where one guy gets arrested a few thousand times on paper and we all go home?
Monkey’s paw: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is never getting out of the arrest-jail-appeal cycle.
So its the “law enforcement” equivalent ofa petulant child spreading the peas around on the plate to make it look like they ate more than they did, except the peas are human beings and instead of a petulant child its… Well, a petulant child with frightening power over others.
Worst timeline.
Stop fuckin claiming that’s ICEs invention! Russia has been doing this since 2018!
Campers no camping!
