"This Court has been extremely patient with respondents, even though respondents decided to send thousands of agents to Minnesota to detain aliens without making any provision for dealing with the hundreds of habeas petitions and other lawsuits that were sure to result,"
"But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed,"
"Respondents have continually assured the Court that they recognize their obligation to comply with Court orders, and that they have taken steps to ensure that those orders will be honored going forward,"
Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz ordered acting ICE director Todd Lyons to appear in federal court Friday to explain why he should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with orders to hold bond hearings for detained immigrants. Schiltz criticized the administration for sending thousands of agents to Minnesota without provisions to handle the resulting habeas petitions and lawsuits. The order followed President Donald Trump's move to assign border czar Tom Homan after a second death linked to immigration enforcement and a separate federal hearing where state and city officials sought a halt to the enforcement surge. Schiltz said lesser measures had failed and noted respondents' assurances they would comply.
