In reaching her decision, Judge Cobb took particular note of the aggressive evolution of the #Trump administration’s #immigration policy in recent months.

She wrote that in a race to meet quotas — as high as 3,000 immigration arrests per day — the administration had resorted to staking out #courthouses, targeting people pursuing #asylum claims & other pathways to remain in the country legally.

She wrote that the #Trump admin had taken over a process that was once as simple as turning back immigrants w/negligible ties to the US “after a single conversation with an immigration officer” near the southern border, making it a default practice in places as far away as NY.

“When it comes to people living in the interior of the country, prioritizing speed over all else will inevitably lead the government to erroneously remove people via this truncated process,” Cobb wrote.
