How habeas corpus has played a role in North Carolinians being released from ICE detention

Immigration enforcement has transformed from a campaign promise to a months-long campaign of intimidation. Federal ICE agents are ramping up their latest operation in Portland, Maine this week, following an astonishing effort in Minneapolis that killed two Americans. 

Federal agents carried out operations in North Carolina across November and December. There is new data available from those raids. 

We discuss that and how habeas corpus has played a role in North Carolinians being released from ICE detention.
