US federal judges in California have ordered immigration officials to release two Indian citizens. The court has said in its order that keeping him in custody without trial is probably a violation of the constitutional process.
After the orders of President Donald Trump, the immigration policies in America have been changed and made strict. Since then, ICE officials have started strict checks for immigrants living in America. Earlier, the court had ordered the release of three Indians in the same case. This order was issued this week by the US District Court of Eastern California. In both cases, the Court found that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not provide notice, hearing, or legal justification before detaining these people.
In one case, Chief US District Judge Troy L. Nunley ordered the immediate release of Kirandeep. Kirandeep is a citizen of India and came to America in December 2021. During this time, he had also sought asylum in America.
According to court records, Kirandeep accompanied the investigation and was detained for some time before being released. Immigration officials determined at that time that she was not a threat to the community or a flight risk.
According to court documents, she had been living in California for more than four years. During his four years in office, Kirandeep participated in all scheduled investigations with ICE and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Kirandeep lived with her partner in California.
In September 2025, Kirandeep was detained during a routine ICE check-in. Officials said she had not previously appeared before ICE at a scheduled time. However, he gave a valid reason for his absence and checked in the next day. The reasons for Kirandeep’s absence were accepted by ICE at that time.
Judge Nunnally ruled that continuing to detain him without trial was probably a violation of due process. Along with this, the court ordered his immediate release and stopped the authorities from arresting him again without notice.
In a separate ruling, Judge Nunnally ordered the release of Rohit, who is an Indian citizen. His claim for asylum in America is pending. Rohit had come to America without inspection in November 2021 and had expressed fear of political persecution in India. Rohit was detained in June 2025. He remained in custody for more than seven months without a bond hearing.
The court found that Rohit had links with the community and the government failed to arrange a hearing or explain why continued detention was necessary. Judge Nunnally ruled that his detention without due process posed a serious risk of unfair deprivation of liberty. He ordered to release Rohit immediately. In both cases, the Court held that when an immigration officer releases a person from custody, that person is entitled to protected liberty.
