The order stems from Margarito Castañon Nava v. DHS, a class-action lawsuit claiming that federal agents unlawfully detained hundreds of migrants who were not subject to mandatory detention or final removal orders, a direct violation of a 2021 Biden-era decree inherited by the Trump administration.
In the ruling, Cummings accused DHS of holding migrants in "unsafe and unsanitary" conditions, saying detainees had been kept in overcrowded facilities "next to overflowing toilets." The judge further said the department’s recent reversal on detention authority represented a "180-degree change" from previous legal interpretations.
