The important thing to note here is that the district court forced action by the administration. This is why some kind of cause of action (like a statutory Bivens for DHS) needs to be a part of dems list demands.
All so that Acting Director Lyons doesn’t have to appear in person before Chief Judge Schiltz on Friday…
BREAKING: The petitioner ("T.R." or Juan Tobay Robles) whose non-release prompted Chief Judge Schilitz to threaten ICE director Todd Lyons with contempt has now been RELEASED, according to what the civil chief of the US Atty's office has told his atty and his atty has relayed to me.

Kinda seems.....unseemly for our gov't to be doing?
"The Department of Homeland Security has ordered immigration officers to gather identifying information about anyone filming them and to “send that information to Intel who will do a ‘work-up’ on them,” a federal law enforcement official directly involved tells me."

BREAKING: Trump doesn’t support the 2nd Amendment.
Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin?

TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

And they always told you the Democrats were gonna take your guns.

It’s not the Democrats. It’s the fascists.

And they’re saying it out loud.

No doubt this will wake up millions who haven’t been activated until now.

This is happening, America.

To ALL of America. Including gun owners.🚨🇺🇸
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.

Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

We profiled refugees who:

Arrived in the country legally.

Applied for green cards.

Were arrested by ICE and detained.

One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released.

This is an unprecedented operation.

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

It is inconceivable to me that any Democrat would vote for a DHS funding bill that fails to include a mandate that requires these federal goons to take their masks off.

A federal judge has taken an "extraordinary step" and ordered the head of ICE to appear in court later this week.

At issue is alleged violations of court orders related to immigration cases, including not releasing detainees despite a judge's ruling.

The injunction will remain blocked while the case is pending in court. U.S. Circuit Judge Raymond Gruender dissented in part.

NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge says ICE has been violating court orders repeatedly — detaining noncitizens or rushing them to Texas despite judges' commands.

He wants ICE's director to answer for it "personally," and could level contempt sanctions.
