Again...
The district’s seven full-time judges and 10 partially retired judges have been inundated by hundreds of emergency lawsuits from immigrants targeted by ICE during the operation. They’re working weekends to manage the backlog and juggling a crush of individual cases under intense national attention.
And in all but a handful of cases, those judges have ruled that the
Trump administration violated the law, sometimes flagrantly.
From another article...
Patrick Schiltz, chief of the federal district court in Minnesota (also taught at Notre Dame).
Four years later, the mild-mannered George W. Bush appointee — known for his conservative jurisprudence, his clerkship with late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and his mentorship of future Justice Amy Coney Barrett — has been thrust into an increasingly pitched legal confrontation with President Donald Trump’s immigration forces.
Schiltz, 65, has publicly aired his fury over the Trump administration’s mistreatment of noncitizens arrested in Operation Metro Surge...
The clash is
slated to reach a climax Friday, when Schiltz plans to haul into his Minneapolis courtroom Todd Lyons, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to grill him about the
rampant violation of court orders that Schiltz and his colleagues say has poisoned the trust between the administration and the court.
So, no, ICE is not enforcing laws passed by Congress. They're a rogue federal agency.
