"Schiltz took the administration to task over its handling of bond hearings for immigrants it has detained. 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, the judge wrote."
"In an order dated Monday, Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz said Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, must appear personally in court. Schiltz wrote that he recognizes ordering the head of a federal agency to appear personally is extraordinary. But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed, Schiltz wrote."
Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz ordered acting ICE director Todd Lyons to appear personally in court to explain why he should not be held in contempt. Schiltz criticized the administration for sending thousands of agents to Minnesota without provisions to handle hundreds of habeas petitions and lawsuits, and for failing to provide bond hearings for detained immigrants. The judge called ordering an agency head to appear extraordinary but said ICE's violations were likewise extraordinary and that lesser measures had failed. The order follows a federal hearing and political actions responding to immigration enforcement and related deaths in Minnesota.
