    They are challenging the legality of the imprisonment of people by ICE. When it is granted, ICE now needs to bring the prisoner before the court, hence the habeas corpus name.

      I think they’re litterally getting people released because ICE knows they can’t justify it in court so they release them instead when there’s any pushback
