This is real and significant — the Trump administration inadvertently authorized thousands of arrests at immigration courts based on a memo that never actually applied there. The DOJ admitted the mistake this week after federal prosecutors realized ICE had misinterpreted policy documents. An ICE clarification memo from March 19 now says the policy doesn't apply to immigration courts at all. The article is well-sourced from court documents and official statements, though it leads with the sensational 'mistaken policy' angle rather than the underlying due process concerns that critics see as the bigger story.
