A top Minnesota judge blasted ICE for rampant violations of judicial directives during the Trump administration’s violent immigration crackdown in the Midwestern state. Schiltz, a conservative appointed by President George W Bush, said ICE was "not a law unto itself." The crackdown has further seen local courts inundated with filings from migrants claiming to have been unlawfully detained by ICE. Schiltz had previously demanded that Lyons appear in person to state why he should not be held in contempt for the number of court orders ICE has violated since the start of January. The judge issued a temporary stay to that summons on Wednesday but cautioned that “future noncompliance with court orders” would likely see it reinstated.
