Judge orders acting ICE director to appear in federal court in Minneapolis

[orangecrush]

Minnesota’s chief federal judge is ordering the head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear personally in a Minneapolis courtroom on Friday, with the judge saying that ICE has failed to comply with dozens of court orders.

That’s amid the agency’s ongoing surge of agents to Minnesota.

Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz in a Monday court filing, ordering acting ICE director Todd Lyons to appear in court, wrote that “the Court’s patience is at an end.”

“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,” Schiltz wrote.

1. Will this story make MSM? IDK, but it's proof that they haven't corrupted nor control the entire system yet.

When I get discouraged, I remember that when Don sues someone the media makes a big to-do about it, but when a judge slaps it down weeks later, they don't report that. Wish we had a forum or single post, somewhere on DU, to reference the wins. There are more than most people realize.
