Today, a federal judge issued a Preliminary Injunction protecting Minnesota refugees from unlawful arrest and detention while the class action lawsuit U.H.A. v. Bondi proceeds. The previous Temporary Restraining Order protecting refugees from these rights violations expired earlier this week, and the U.S. government was clear it would continue to arrest and detain lawfully present refugees in Minnesota without a new court order. The judge found that the government's policy of warrantless arrest and detention of lawfully present refugees is likely to violate the Immigration & Nationality Act, as well as the Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
