Oregon judge restricts ICE warrantless arrests amid due-process concerns

A federal judge in Oregon issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting ICE from arresting people in the state without warrants unless there’s a likelihood of escape, ruling in a class-action challenge to DHS enforcement practices. The decision followed evidence that agents conducted immigration sweeps and detained individuals—sometimes on private property—without warrants or escape-risk determinations, including testimony from a plaintiff who was held for weeks despite a valid work permit, and a ruling underscoring the need for restraint and due process in immigration enforcement.
