Judge Orders Release of Detained Father and Son Amidst Immigration Policy Criticism
A federal judge ordered the release of a 5-year-old boy and his father from a Texas detention center, criticizing the Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics, multiple news sources reported. The ruling, prompted by the pair's detention in Minnesota and subsequent transfer to Texas, cited the Declaration of Independence and biblical passages to underscore the judge's disapproval of the administration's policies, according to Fortune. The New York Times reported that the judge deemed their removal from their Minneapolis neighborhood unconstitutional amidst outrage over the Trump administration's immigration tactics, including "Operation Metro Surge" which led to protests and deaths.
The case highlights the ongoing debate and legal challenges surrounding the Trump administration's approach to immigration. The family's legal team expressed relief and focused on reunification, despite Homeland Security maintaining the father was the target and the son remained by choice, according to the NY Times.
