A federal judge has accused the Trump administration of terrorizing immigrants and recklessly violating the law in its efforts to deport millions of people living in the country illegally. Citing the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, the judge said in a scathing decision late Wednesday that the White House had also “extended its violence on its own citizens.” U.S. District Judge Sunshine Sykes in Riverside, California ordered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide detained immigrants around the country with notice of her earlier decision that they may be eligible to seek release on bond. The department said in a statement that the Supreme Court had “repeatedly overruled” lower courts on the issue of mandatory detention.
