"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, wrote Schiltz. The order comes after Trump ordered border czar Tom Homan to take over his administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota following the death of a second person this month at the hands of an immigration law enforcement officer."
"The White House had tried to blame Democratic leaders for protests of federal officers conducting immigration raids, but after Saturday's killing of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti and videos of the incident suggesting he was not an active threat, the administration tapped Homan to take charge of the Minnesota operation from Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino. Bystander videos also suggested that 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good had not been a threat when she was shot earlier this month. Both victims were US citizens."
Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz ordered acting ICE director Todd Lyons to appear in federal court on Friday to explain the agency's handling of bond hearings for detained immigrants. Schiltz stated that ICE deployed thousands of agents to Minnesota without making provisions for the hundreds of habeas petitions and related lawsuits that would result. The order followed President Trump's appointment of Tom Homan to oversee the Minnesota immigration operation after two people were killed in encounters with immigration officers. Bystander videos and witness accounts raised questions about whether the victims posed active threats, and local officials sought judicial remedies related to the raids.
