Yale Law School’s student legal clinics continue to make news at a dizzying pace.

Now, in a case brought by a Yale clinic that focuses on veterans issues, a Massachusetts federal judge has said that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) is acting unconstitutionally when it shackles detainees in federal court.
