The measure arises after lawsuits filed by organizations defending the rights of immigrants.

n” “nThe plaintiff organizations argued that many people chose not to show up for their immigration appointments for fear of being detained upon arriving at the courts.
The judge concluded that there were sufficient grounds to temporarily suspend the measure while its legality and compatibility with constitutional protections are determined.

n” “nHowever, civil rights advocacy groups believe that these practices may discourage immigrants from participating in mandatory legal processes and affect the functioning of the immigration system.
The judicial decision could become an important precedent in legal disputes related to immigration policies implemented by the federal government.
