The U.S. District Court of Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction in Ryan v. ICE, the courthouse arrest litigation filed by CPCS, Middlesex and Suffolk DAs and Chelsea Collaborative. The injunction prohibits ICE from arresting people for civil violations of immigration law while they are coming to, attending, or leaving Massachusetts courthouses under their own power.

This injunction does not apply to ICE arrests of people who are being released in court from criminal custody.
