President Donald Trump has granted federal immigration agents "total authorization" to defend themselves following clashes with protesters during a recent enforcement operation at a cannabis farm in California.

ICE detention standards are difficult to enforce because they aren’t written into law. Rather than follow a uniform standard, detention centers operate under a patchwork of different standards.

Civil rights groups sued the Trump administration on Wednesday in a bid to stop the government’s policy of allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to arrest undocumented migrants who show up for immigration hearings at courthouses.

A new policy rolling out nationally prevents judges from granting bond to most detained migrants. Those hearings often end with a judge releasing the detainee if they agree to post a cash bond, and in some cases, be tracked by a GPS device.
