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, which might help undisappear people, in conjunction with them having to prove they are legally justified to detain them.
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
So, simply put (if I get it right), if you have a friend willing to pay the lowest lawyer wage to get you out, you can get out.
It also demonstrates that the defendant is alive, in good health, and is being treated humanely.
When the government has lots of excuses for why they can't be bothered to produce the actual human being they are trying to destroy, that's a HUGE red flag.
