A federal judge in Colorado has ruled that immigration officers can only arrest individuals without a warrant if they genuinely believe the person is likely to flee. This decision comes after a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, representing four people who were arrested earlier this year without warrants. The judge found that the four individuals had strong ties to their communities, concluding that no reasonable officer could have believed they were likely to flee before an arrest warrant could be obtained. The ruling requires immigration officers to have probable cause on two fronts and document their reasons for making an arrest without a warrant. The Department of Homeland Security has strongly pushed back against this ruling, planning to appeal it.
