    As federal immigration agents surge into communities and detain people, the number of cases filed by those claiming their detention is illegal has risen to historic highs: More than 18,000 filed since Jan. 2025. 

    We are tracking the volume of these cases, known as habeas petitions, as they overwhelm legal advocates and government attorneys: [https://projects.propublica.org/habeas-tracker/](https://projects.propublica.org/habeas-tracker/

    **Methodology:**

    We analyzed federal habeas petitions filed by immigrant detainees in district courts across the country using records from Public Access to Court Electronic Records and the Free Law Project. The data includes and therefore counts some cases that were filed more than once for a variety of reasons, such as filing errors or deficiencies.


    Officials from the White House and Department of Homeland Security didn’t respond to a list of questions, but in statements, spokespeople insisted that the Trump administration is fully enforcing federal immigration law and placed the blame on the federal judges.

    “President Trump and Secretary Noem are now enforcing the law and arresting illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country, and reversed Biden’s catch and release policy. We are applying the law as written,” wrote Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson.

    (Trying to remain non-partisan from a political standpoint)

    The current administration’s „Shoot First, Ask Questions Later“ behavior is obviously going to throw up lots of counter claims to prove wrongful arrest. The burden is upon the defense. Previous administrations took a much longer „Verify, Then Arrest“ which kept the burden on the prosecution, thus the defense didn’t need to file because that work was already done by the arresting team.

    To see the shift this extreme laid out on a graph is shocking, but not unexpected.

  3. ICE is currently slow walking their response to these writs. They’re *super* butthurt that they don’t get to play in immigration court in front of „judges“ that aren’t even technically judges.

    They STILL think they can thumb the nose at a federal court judge. Multiple people have spent over a week in ICE detention *AFTER* a federal judge ordered their immediate, unconditional release.
