The full 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has declined to review a panel ruling that said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has the authority to arrest immigrants who are in the country illegally when they make appearances at courthouses in Massachusetts.
The Boston-based appeals court on Tuesday denied panel rehearing and en banc review of the September ruling, which overturned a judge s decision barring courthouse arrests by ICE in a lawsuit by two county prosecutors.
The three-judge panel said it was not for the court to decide whether ICE s strategy of making courthouse arrests is sound public policy, saying that question lies within the domain of the politically accountable branches of the federal and state governments.

A Newton man was arrested on three warrants on April 21, as part of an investigation into a number of burglaries and motor vehicle break-ins over the past few months, according to a Newton Police press release.
Peter Karl Ciesluk, 36, of Colella Road, was arrested on the following warrants from Newton District Court: Receiving stolen property; breaking and entering in a building in the nighttime and breaking and entering in a vehicle or boat in the nighttime, both of which are felonies; and receiving stolen property, police said.
Ciesluk had previously been arrested in the early morning hours on April 13, 2021, in relation to a vehicle that was broken into while parked inside a garage on Countryside Road, police said.
Sarro, 39, of Mattapan, is facing two counts of receiving stolen property over $1,200.
Woods, 52, also of Mattapan, has been charged with larceny in a building.
Members of the Newton Police Department s Warrant Unit and the Boston Police Department s Fugitive Task Force and Gang Unit conducted the arrests.
Newton police say detectives are continuing to investigate a string of more than a dozen break-ins that have happened in the city over the past few weeks.
On March 22, police reported that there were eight home break-ins in about a weeklong span.
On April 9, five home break-ins happened within a span of just over two hours, according to police.

Nearly a year after George Floydâs death at the hands of Minneapolis police, proposals to overhaul local law enforcement and root out systemic racism are making headway in several Greater Boston communities.
In Brookline, a passionate debate over how to rethink policing led the Select Board to form two panels â one a âreformsâ committee, the other a task force to âreimagineâ policing. Each has developed its own set of recommended changes for the townâs police department.
