Arresting Immigrants… at Court

Immigration enforcement inside of non-immigration courthouses isn’t a new thing. (See our prior coverage of the issue here, here, here, here, and here). But today’s commentary in the New Yorker offers a fresh example – a father arrested when he went to family court in an effort to protect his children from his ex-wife’s partner.

The first four paragraph of the piece offer great reading for class discussion on enforcement tactics. The whole article, if assigned, offers arguments about the pros and cons of courthouse enforcement.
