Minnesota judge orders ICE chief to court over contempt risk
TL;DR
The chief judge of Minnesota’s federal court ordered acting ICE director Todd Lyons to personally appear in court on Friday to explain why the agency has not complied with dozens of court orders, including missing a detainee’s bond hearing. Judge Patrick Schiltz said Lyons could be held in contempt and would cancel the hearing if the detainee is released, as protests over ICE tactics persist amid critics of the Trump immigration crackdown following fatal enforcement actions earlier this month.
