A federal judge in the United States has blocked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from making arrests inside immigration courthouses nationwide, delivering a sharp setback to President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation policies. The nationwide injunction, issued on Wednesday, 24 June 2026, halts a practice that had drawn widespread criticism after ICE officers repeatedly detained migrants in courthouse hallways over the past year.

U.S. District Judge [Name withheld per style guidelines] ruled that ICE’s courthouse arrests violated constitutional protections and undermined the integrity of the immigration court system. The decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by civil rights groups, which argued that arrests in courthouses deterred migrants from attending hearings and seeking legal recourse. “This practice chills access to justice,” the judge wrote in the order, which applies immediately across all 50 states.

The ruling is the latest legal rebuke to Trump’s immigration enforcement strategy, which has expanded ICE operations under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. In 2025, ICE agents began targeting courthouses to detain individuals with pending deportation cases, a tactic that critics said exploited vulnerable populations. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) hailed the decision as a “critical safeguard for due process.” “No one should fear arrest when they walk into a courthouse to fight their case,” said ACLU attorney [Name withheld].

Trump, who has framed immigration enforcement as a cornerstone of his presidency, reacted with fury to the ruling. In a series of social media posts on Wednesday, he accused the judiciary of obstructing his agenda and vowed to challenge the decision. “The radical left is weaponizing the courts to protect criminals,” he wrote. The White House has not yet indicated whether it will appeal, but legal analysts expect an expedited review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

The injunction does not affect ICE’s broader authority to conduct arrests outside courthouses or in other public spaces. However, it marks a significant limitation on a policy that had become a symbol of Trump’s hardline approach to migration. Immigration advocates welcomed the ruling as a step toward restoring fairness in the court system. “This is a victory for the rule of law,” said [Name withheld], director of the National Immigration Law Center. “Courthouses must remain places where justice is served, not where ICE preys on the vulnerable.”
