Federal Judge Blocks Authorities from Making Immigration Arrests in Mass. Courts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked federal authorities from
making immigration arrests inside the state's courthouses. This comes
two months after federal prosecutors charged a Massachusetts state judge
and a former court officer with obstruction of justice for allegedly
helping an undocumented immigrant evade ICE agents at a district
courthouse in the city of Newton.
