Ex-judges to ICE: End immigration arrests at courthouses 5 SHARES Share it! The judges are urging Vitiello to add courthouses to the list of so-called “sensitive locations” that are generally free from immigration enforcement, like schools and places of worship. Immigration officials have said communities are forcing their hand by refusing to transfer immigrants in local prisons and jails to ICE custody. They also argue that courthouse arrests are safer for agents because people have to go through metal detectors when they enter courthouses. ICE officials didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
