"show cause why he should not be held in contempt."
"The court acknowledges that ordering the head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step, but the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed."
"This is one of dozens of court orders with which respondents have failed to comply in recent weeks."
"The practical consequence of respondents' failure to comply has almost always been significant hardship to aliens (many of whom have lawfully lived and worked in the United States for years and done absolutely nothing wrong)."
A judge ordered the head of ICE to appear in person Friday to show cause why he should not be held in contempt due to the agency's failure to follow court orders. The judge described ordering an agency head to appear as extraordinary, noting ICE's violations were likewise extraordinary and that lesser measures had failed. A petitioner who was ordered a bond hearing within seven days remained detained past the deadline. The judge noted respondents failed to comply with dozens of recent orders, causing significant hardship to many immigrants who had lawfully lived and worked in the United States.
