ICE chief ordered to appear in court over potential contempt charges

A Minnesota judge has ordered the Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to appear in court, citing potential contempt for defying a court order.

The judge’s summons comes after ICE agents were restricted from participating in a protest in Minneapolis, as part of an ongoing lawsuit over the agency’s policies. The Trump administration had previously won a court victory, allowing ICE agents to participate in the protest.

In a separate case, the Acting Director was also warned by the judge for flouting court orders related to the Minnesota surge. The warning came after statements made by former President Donald Trump and New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office, which fueled a legal case against the state’s immigration policies.

The Acting Director is set to appear in court on an unspecified date, although no further details have been released.
