The entire American #immigrationcourt system is closed and all cases other than those of people in ICE custody will be rescheduled.
Next: release ICE detainees.
Let's drop the pretense that these people being held on civil immigration charges are any real danger to the public.

#COVID19 will hit an ICE detention center.
This is a thing that is going to happen. And the facilities will, in many cases, be far less prepared than they are now.
ICE has authority--exclusive authority in many cases--to release every one of them now.

Every one of the "criminal aliens" ICE is trying to scare you with is in custody on civil (not criminal) charges which will result only their deportation with no other consequence. Remember that these same people would already be out and back in society if they were citizens.
And of course many of them have never had so much as a speeding ticket. No one deserves to be stuck in close quarters during a pandemic and we should be letting everyone out from everywhere. There was never much call for mass civil immigration detention, but far less so now
