A federal judge in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release more than 600 illegal immigrants held at a suburban detention center, blasting the agency for "repeated, material violations" of a court-approved consent decree that limited who could be detained under US immigration law.
US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ruled that more than 600 detainees being held at the Broadview ICE center must be released "on bond and into ICE's Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program" by Nov. 21, citing what he called a "pattern of unlawful arrests and confinement."
The order stems from Margarito Castanon Nava v. DHS, a class-action lawsuit claiming federal agents unlawfully detained hundreds of migrants who were not subject to mandatory detention or final removal orders, a direct violation of a 2021 Biden-era decree inherited by the Trump administration.
In the ruling, Cummings accused DHS of holding migrants in "unsafe and unsanitary" conditions, saying detainees had been kept in overcrowded buildings "next to overflowing toilets." The judge further said the department's recent reversal on detention authority represented a "180-degree change" from previous legal interpretations.
The decision could force the largest single-day release of ICE detainees in Illinois in years, freeing hundreds arrested during "Operation Midway Blitz," a Trump enforcement sweep that immigration activists claim traumatized communities across the Chicago area.
"Today was a good day as the court ordered the immediate release of 13 people who have been wrongfully arrested and detained by federal immigration officials," said Michelle Garcia, deputy legal director at the ACLU of Illinois. "More than 600 others may soon walk free as the court enforces our agreement with the federal government — a step toward accountability for But DHS officials sharply condemned the ruling, accusing the court of undermining national security and law enforcement.years of unlawful arrests."
But DHS officials sharply condemned the ruling, accusing the court of undermining national security and law enforcement.
"At every turn, activist judges, sanctuary politicians and violent rioters have actively tried to prevent our law enforcement officers from arresting and removing the worst of the worst," Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for Public Affairs at DHS, told Fox News Digital.
"Now an activist judge is putting the lives of Americans directly at risk by ordering 615 illegal aliens be released into the community."
Cummings ordered DHS to identify detainees considered "high public safety risks" who may remain in custody and to file a compliance report by Nov. 24.

Judge Cummings was appointed by Joe Biden in 2023.
In 1995, Cummings, alongside Barack Obama, representing ACORN, the infamous voter registration organization to get the organization in compliance with Bill Clinton's "Motor Voter Law." Thereafter he has excused Illinois Gov Pritzker from being deposed in a discrimination case.
You get the idea.
The question is how to stop such radical judges?
Only a shithead like a Chicago judge would call for the release of illegals into their community.
Seems like this judge is just trying to follow the actual law instead of being a scum bag bigot screaming about illegals stealing their jobs all day because they're clearly too fucking stupid or lazy to go get trained for a better job. If you're competing for the jobs being taken by undocumented immigrants, then I can only feel sorry for you. If you're screaming in rage at all the supposed crime from undocumented immigrants but not upset at all by crime committed by Americans born here, then you're a fucking bigot and its clearly not about the crime.
Because releasing illegals is following the law.
"on bond and into ICE's Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program" or did you not read that part? They aren't just being let go, the judge is following the law and giving these people due process. And if they can't hear the case now because of the backlog, then they have to schedule the hearing at a later date and release the undocumented immigrant on bond or into an alternative detention program that isn't "unsafe and unsanitary" with "overflowing toilets". That's how the law works.
They're getting the same due process that others got under Clinton, Obama and Biden. Why is that such a problem now?
What causes an "overflowing toilet"? A plugged pipe beyond the bowl and it keeps overflowing because someone in there is still flushing it or they broke it and it is spilling out city water which is drinkable nothing else. What has happened is a detainee/s flush anything they can find to plug up the toilet and then keep flushing it or broke the mechanism so as to keep the toilet running, because they're being malicious.
Actually, a "decree" is not the law.
load them on a plane one way to somewhere else before they can stop up the toilets
I wonder how many Democrats would fly to those other countries to try to bring them back.
In happier news (for Chicago) Gregory Bovino and his Border Patrol thugs are fleeing for warmer climes (which I predicted). Their next victim will be either New Orleans or Charlotte.
The 600 released had no significant criminal record. In other words they had traffic tickets.
The woman who was arrested a few weeks ago inside the day care center has been released also, for the same reasons. If they go to court and judged thereby to be subject to deportation, then that could happen.
yeah, we both know most of them won't show up for court if released. You'd be lying to say otherwise.
Then, just like what happens to white criminals, a bench warrant is issued and they are subject to arrest and detention.
So for you it's race. Why introduce stupid shit like that when you know that's not the case? And please tell me you actually expect to be taken seriously.
Yea, I'd be interested in learning the percentage of detainees in ICE facilities who are white.
Oh - so no "whites" can be illegal aliens?
Didn't Trump petition for more South Africansto be allowed in to the US...
That would probably coincide with the numbers of whites trying to gain entry into the US illegally. Less whites coming across illegally less whites in ICE facilities. Very simple for those trying to insert race where it doesn't belong.
Thet should have removed them when they had them. Just letting Illegals loose is stupid.
The judge followed the law, nothing more, nothing less. They aren't loose, they were released into ICE detention. From the article -
Then load then on a plane to somewhere else, no reason to keep them here
Then get Congress to change the laws and the SCotUS to uphold them.
all the due process needed;
Do they belong here? If no. out they go!
That's pretty much what they do Charger. Except that question has to be in a courtroom, in front of a judge, and "they" get to have a lawyer.
It is not done fast enough
I wonder if your immigrant ancestors were treated half as bad as you talk about immigrants today. You may think it is reasonable and funny, but it’s gross and subhuman.
1n 1682 William Penn treated my ancestor pretty good and gave him a large plot of land
How nice for your ancestor. I bet they would be disgusted with what has happened with their bloodline.
The mentality that says what this administration is doing to fellow human beings is ok is pathologically disturbing. It is racist to its core, and it speaks for its host. The vast majority are not criminals at all, and dreamers only know this country. Emotionally healthy people can’t understand that level of hatred required to take your position.
This country is overcrowded. Overpopulation reduces the quality of life for the Citizens.
The whole world is overcrowded, the USA can't take in other places problems.
What are you willing to give up for them?
They’ve been here their whole lives and I didn’t need to give them anything other than an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work when hired.
what if they took your job?
were they approved to work here?
Did they pay the same taxes that a Citizen has to pay?
They have never taken my job. Not only do they pay taxes, but they pay into a retirement system that you and I benefit from but they do not. Taking their contributions away from social security actually hurts you.
It’s a real mystery how the cities that abbot sent illegals to had to raise taxes and cut services to deal with them isn’t it?
That is exactly what the cotton plantation owners said. We want the benefits of slave labor without the cost.
They're getting the same due process that others got under Clinton, Obama and Biden. Why is that such a problem now
You’re such a humanitarian. Look at how concerned you are about the welfare of the people you want thrown to the ground in front of their kids and dragged off to a detention center to be deported away from their families. I wonder if you even realize how stupid you sound.
If they weren't here illegally there would not be a problem
They should get the same kind of due process that Citizens get with a photo radar ticket
Exactly. They should get a ticket in the mail. Do you get locked up until your court date with a photo radar ticket? Do you get thrown to the ground, cuffed, and beaten by anonymous thugs? Of course not.
No, with those you are guilty and the due process is somebody paid to approve the for profit scam has already found you guilty. and the camera company get a cut of the profit
They get more due process and protection form judges than Citizens
