U.S. judge bars immigration arrests at Massachusetts courts

A federal judge on Thursday ruled that U.S. immigration authorities cannot arrest illegal immigrants at Massachusetts courthouses, the first order of its kind barring courthouse arrests. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston issued an injunction preventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, from carrying out a directive authorizing arrests of illegal immigrants in the state's courts. The judge's order did not apply to criminal arrests by ICE, although most of the agency's arrests are civil arrests for violating immigration laws.
