The full 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has declined to review a panel ruling that said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has the authority to arrest immigrants who are in the country illegally when they make appearances at courthouses in Massachusetts.
The Boston-based appeals court on Tuesday denied panel rehearing and en banc review of the September ruling, which overturned a judge s decision barring courthouse arrests by ICE in a lawsuit by two county prosecutors.
The three-judge panel said it was not for the court to decide whether ICE s strategy of making courthouse arrests is sound public policy, saying that question lies within the domain of the politically accountable branches of the federal and state governments.
