The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is defending its policy of having Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrest people at their immigration court hearings after a group of immigrants and advocates filed a class-action lawsuit that seeks to stop the practice.

A class-action lawsuit seeks to stop ICE officers from arresting migrants who appear at immigration courts and placing them on a fast-track to deportation.

Attorneys say Abel Orozco's arrest violates a legal mandate requiring probable cause in order to arrest an immigrant without first obtaining a warrant.
