Quick Summary

Immigrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are filing habeas corpus petitions at an unprecedented rate, nearing 100,000 cases, compared to the usual few hundred annually. This surge is attributed to increased resistance against detention under President Trump's policies, leading to significant delays in immigration court proceedings and complicating efforts to rapidly deport undocumented individuals before a specified deadline by 2029.
