“A federal judge has ordered the release of hundreds of people who were [abducted] over the last few months in the Chicago area amid the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration raids across the city. On Wednesday, US district judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered the justice department to produce a list showing which of the 615 possible class members are still in custody by 19 November, the Chicago Tribune reports. According to Cummings, he would allow the members’ release on a $1,500 bond as long as they have no criminal history or prior removal order. The ACLU of Illinois said that the order will mean the immediate release of 13 people who have been [abducted] by federal officials. As part of Wednesday’s order, Cummings also prohibited the government from pressuring [abductees] to agree to voluntary deportation while their cases are pending, the Chicago Tribune added.” (11/12/25)
