Man arrested for robbery and destruction of property is released on his own recognizance. But before he can leave the courthouse, U.S. Marshals detain him on an "ICE hold." Man files a class action, arguing that the marshals acted outside their authority. D.C. Circuit: Just so. Only people who have undergone certain training are allowed to make civil immigration arrests, and the marshals haven't done that. But class-wide relief was inappropriate.
The case is N.S. v. Robert Dixon, No. 21-05275 (D.C. Cir. Ju 2025).
