The ruling keeping Iraqi immigrants in Metro Detroit from being deported may expire today after a judge did not make a new decision Friday to keep them in the U.S. A hearing is scheduled.
The ACLU requested that Judge Mark Goldsmith extend the stay for the people facing deportation, while the Department of Justice argued that Goldsmith doesn’t have the power to extend their stay, and this matter should be decided in immigration courts. The stay will expire at the end of the day. The ACLU also argued the detainees need more time to have their day in court before a decision is made to deport them.
