Judge orders release of hundreds arrested during Chicago immigration raids

Trump officials also cannot pressure detainees to agree to voluntary deportation while cases are pending, says judge

A federal judge has ordered the release of hundreds of people who were arrested over the last few months in the Chicago area amid the Trump administration's aggressive immigration raids across the city.

On Wednesday, US district judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered the justice department to produce a list showing which of the 615 possible class members are still in custody by 19 November, the Chicago Tribune reports.
