Reported: ICE uses new "farce" tactic to re-arrest after habeas petitions granted

  1. Original Date Announced

    October 5, 2026

    MPR News reports that ICE is re-arresting noncitizens in Minnesota as soon as they are released on successful habeas petitions. ICE is making these arrests while the noncitizen is still inside or steps outside the federal building from which they were released. Attorneys in Minnesota characterize this "farce" as "the latest strategy federal agents are using in Minnesota to fulfill arrest and deportation quotas." Another attorney says that this tactic allows ICE to "arrest and deport even more people without public confrontations like those seen during Operation Metro Surge."
