flag A Minnesota judge ordered DHS to give detained immigrants immediate, private lawyer access and halt rapid out-of-state transfers for 72 hours to protect constitutional rights.

flag A federal judge in Minnesota has issued a temporary emergency order requiring the Department of Homeland Security to ensure detained immigrants have immediate, private access to lawyers before any transfer out of state. flag Judge Nancy Brasel ruled that rapid, unannounced transfers, unreliable tracking, and restricted phone and visit access at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building likely violated constitutional rights. flag The order mandates detainees be allowed to contact attorneys within one hour of arrest, receive accurate legal provider lists, have unlimited private phone calls, and meet with lawyers in private seven days a week. flag Transfers out of state are prohibited for the first 72 hours, and detainees must be informed of their destination. flag The judge rejected DHS claims of logistical chaos, stating constitutional rights cannot be ignored. flag The order is effective for two weeks unless extended.
