Minnesota judge summons acting ICE director, warns of contempt over court defiance
AI Summary
A federal judge in Minnesota has summoned acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to court, threatening contempt charges for allegedly defying court orders related to "Operation Metro Surge," a large-scale immigration enforcement campaign in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Chief US District Judge Patrick Schiltz accuses the Trump administration of delaying or ignoring judicial directives, causing hardship to immigrants. The order stems from a case where an individual ordered released on January 15 remained in custody. Other Minnesota federal judges have voiced similar concerns about the administration's actions, with some considering broader legal challenges to restrict federal immigration enforcement in the state. These challenges include questions about the constitutionality of deploying 3,000 immigration agents and claims that the operation punishes Minnesota for its sanctuary policies.
