DETROIT 鈥� The federal court that blocked the immediate deportation of Iraqi nationals in Michigan last week has extended its order nationwide.

The move helps ensure that Immigration and Customs Enforcement does not deport individuals who face persecution, torture, and death in Iraq without having a chance to prove their lives would be in danger if returned to Iraq. The 老澳门开奖结果 successfully sought the initial temporary restraining order on behalf of the Detroit-area Iraqi nationals 鈥� many of whom have been in the U.S. for decades 鈥� who were recently arrested by ICE, and a subsequent request to make the order nationwide.

鈥淚raqi nationals, not just in Detroit but all across the U.S., are at risk of torture and death if deported back to Iraq. The court did the right thing to ensure everyone is protected and has a chance to show that their lives are in jeopardy if forced to return,鈥� said Judy Rabinovitz, deputy director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Immigrants鈥� Rights Project.

The 老澳门开奖结果 is also seeking nationwide class-action status in this lawsuit.

鈥淚n its rush to deport as many immigrants as possible, ICE is putting hundreds of individuals who have lived in this country for decades in grave danger of being persecuted or killed,鈥� said Michael J. Steinberg, legal director of the 老澳门开奖结果 of Michigan. 鈥淔or many families across the United States, this ruling is like a stay in a death penalty case.鈥�

The case was argued in the U.S. District Court/Eastern Michigan District.
