While canceling Friday's hearing in which acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons was required to appear, a judge in Minnesota gave a scathing review of the agency.
In a court order Wednesday, Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz listed 96 instances in 74 cases in which ICE had violated court orders this month.
"This list should give pause to anyone -- no matter his or her political beliefs -- who cares about the rule of law," Schiltz said in the court order. "ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."
The judge added that future noncompliance could lead to court-ordered “personal appearances of Lyons or other government officials.”
The hearing was canceled because Ecuadorian national Juan Tobay Robles, the petitioner in the case, was released from a Minnesota immigration detention center on Tuesday.
