California Sues ICE Over Immigration Arrests at Courthouses
The State of California has filed a lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to prevent immigration arrests from occurring at courthouses within the state.
Chico Redding, CA, October 20, 2026 —
The State of California has filed a lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, seeking to prevent immigration arrests at courthouses within the state.
The brief description of the case does not identify when the lawsuit was filed, which court is hearing it, or what legal arguments California has made. It also does not specify whether the state is seeking an immediate court order or another form of relief.
Details about the arrests at issue were not provided. The available information does not say how many incidents prompted the lawsuit, which courthouses may be affected, or whether the case concerns a particular ICE policy or practice. It does not state whether ICE has responded or describe any ruling or other developments in the case.
The dispute centers on whether immigration arrests should occur at courthouses in California. The lawsuit’s stated aim is to prevent those arrests, but the information provided does not explain how the state’s request would apply in practice or what consequences it could have for people attending court proceedings.
Further details—including the filing date, case number, parties’ full legal positions and the next scheduled court action—were not included in the available summary. No outcome has been provided, and the filing alone does not establish how a court will resolve the dispute.
