Breitbart confirmed the order; NBC News confirmed the scope of the TSA crisis and political fallout.
The Trump administration's Justice Department acknowledged Wednesday it erroneously relied on an internal ICE memo to defend courthouse arrests of immigrants attending their own hearings — and that the memo, dated May 2025, specifically stated it 'does not apply to Executive Office for Immigration Review courts.'

Fox News and NBC News both confirmed the competing positions.

NPR reported on March 20 that the Trump administration has used the Board of Immigration Appeals — a largely unknown administrative court inside the Justice Department — to publish a body of binding immigration case law that severely narrows due process protections, makes it easier to deport migrants to third countries, and makes detention bond harder to obtain.

The BIA has made it nearly impossible for detained immigrants to receive bond and enabled deportations to third countries. NPR documented the sweeping changes; Washington Examiner and Breitbart frame them as restoring order after years of activist judiciary decisions.
A 19-year-old Mexican migrant, Royer Perez-Jimenez, died at a Florida county jail holding ICE detainees on March 16, becoming the youngest person to die in immigration custody during President Trump's second term.

DHS's 'Project Homecoming' self-deportation program, backed by nearly $915 million in funding, has enrolled about 72,000 participants — but CNN's exclusive review of internal documents found that the majority were already in ICE detention at the time they enrolled.

Budget cuts driven by the Department of Government Efficiency have reduced the number of active immigration judges by roughly 25 percent over the past year, dropping from approximately 700 to around 550, with some hearing dates now pushed to 2028 or later.

Experts from both sides of the debate agree the cuts are lengthening the time immigrants spend in legal limbo.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Urias v. Bondi that federal appeals courts must defer to immigration judges' factual findings, raising the legal bar for migrants to challenge deportation orders.

Both Fox News and NPR confirm the ruling applies a 'substantial-evidence standard' that limits judicial second-guessing of immigration court decisions.
One year after his arrest outside his New York apartment, former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil remains detained as his deportation case continues.

Fox News, NPR, and AP agreed that President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act and that it broadens mandatory detention for undocumented migrants accused of specified crimes. The split centered on whether the law closes a public-safety gap or widens detention based on accusations alone.
Fox News and NPR both report that Trump's first-day executive order cancelled all pending CBP One appointments, affecting approximately 800,000 migrants who had scheduled legal entry appointments under the Biden administration's app-based border program. The app was renamed CBP Home and repurposed for immigration enforcement.
