Minnesota federal judge orders ICE chief to appear in court Friday, threatens contempt
Judge Schiltz ordered acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to explain repeated failures to provide bond hearings amid a surge in detentions and ongoing habeas petitions.
- On Monday, Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz summoned Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to appear in Minneapolis on Friday, writing that the Court's patience is at an end.
- In the Tobay Robles matter, the judge noted the Jan. 14 order and the missed Jan. 21 deadline, finding ICE held Tobay Robles improperly as he remained detained on Jan. 23.
- Federal courts in Minnesota have been deluged by immigrant lawsuits amid the enforcement surge, and Schiltz said respondents sent `thousands of agents to Minnesota` without planning for habeas petitions.
- The government released the detainee shortly after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, allowing Schiltz to consider canceling the Friday hearing while Lyons faces potential sanctions or contempt charges.
- Schiltz, a Bush-appointed chief U.S. district judge who once clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia, has repeatedly clashed with the administration, calling DOJ requests `frivolous` and `unprecedented`, thrusting the enforcement tactics into the national spotlight.
