Federal Judge in Minnesota Extends Order for Immigrants Access to Lawyers

A federal judge in Minnesota has extended her order, mandating that detained immigrants be granted immediate access to legal counsel. The ruling applies to those held at a Minneapolis facility, requiring access within one hour of arrest and before any out-of-state transfers. The decision builds on a temporary order issued in February and blocks transfers for the first seventy-two hours of detention. Advocates praised the decision, arguing it safeguards due process and prevents unfair treatment. However, government lawyers contested the order, claiming compliance and a significant reduction in enforcement. Despite the governments arguments, local attorneys reported issues with access, including broken phones and hard-to-reach clients. The order remains in effect as the case progresses.
