An emergency hearing has concluded in Detroit federal court over the deportation of more than 100 Iraqi residents detained two weeks ago by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith will consider a request to expand a 14-day stay on the deportation.
Goldsmith issued the stay while he determines which court has the jurisdiction.
The ACLU asked that their lawsuit be expanded to cover all deportations nationwide.
More than 100 Chaldean and Muslim residents were detained by ICE nearly two weeks ago, and ICE said a day later that they would be deported.
