Berkeley professor seeks expedited release of ICE data

A University of California, Berkeley law professor sued U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for failing to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests seeking immigration data. A federal judge acknowledged the professor's likely success on the merits but questioned the urgency of emergency relief for data over a decade old. The professor's attorney argued timely access is critical for analyzing historical immigration trends, while the Justice Department opposed the injunction as overly broad.
