Related: About this forumFederal Judge Says ICE Violated 96 Court Orders in One Month and Has the Receipts - Decoding The Rhetoric
A federal judge just released an extraordinary appendix documenting ninety six court orders ICE violated in January alone. Seventy four separate cases. One month.
And this is not an activist judge. He was appointed by George W. Bush, clerked twice for Antonin Scalia, and sits squarely inside the conservative legal tradition.
After ICE ignored order after order, the judge threatened contempt. Within twenty four hours, ICE complied. Then the judge released the list.
This video breaks down what happened, why it matters, and why a conservative federal judge is now warning that ICE is not a law unto itself. - 01/29/2026.

Neither of these deceased Americans were immigrants, nor were they "dangerous" or breaking any laws. Why was ICE even concerned with them and when do their murder trials start??

Wars, laws trampled, citizens killed, children tortured, for these three reasons.
