A group immigrants and legal advocates filed a class-action lawsuit Wednesday that seeks to stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from arresting migrants who appear at immigration courts for previously scheduled hearings and placing them on a fast-track to deportation.

Former Cincinnati hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman won a small victory when a judge told immigration officials they can't "remove" him from Ohio.

Immigrant advocates say the flyers, titled "Message to Illegal Aliens: A Warning to Self-Deport," contain misleading information that violates the ethical duties of immigration judges, some of whom have allowed the flyers to remain on tables inside their courtrooms.

The union said that it can take as long as a year to recruit, hire and train new immigration court judges. The "Big, Beautiful Bill," recently signed by President Donald Trump, will provide the Executive Office of Immigration Review with $3.3 billion.

Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days, according to the union that represents them.
