An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
On January 8, 2026, petitioner Juan T.R. filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.' The Court issued an order requiring respondents to file an answer no later than January 12, 2026. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243 (requiring judges to either "forthwith award the writ" or order the respondent to show cause, within three days, why the writ should not be granted). Respondents failed to answer. Accordingly, the Court granted the writ in part and ordered respondents to afford Juan a bond hearing within seven days or, failing that, to immediately release him from detention. ECF No. 4. Respondents neither held a bond hearing within the required time nor released Juan. ECF No. 6. The Court then issued a show-cause order and scheduled a hearing at which it ordered the personal appearance of Todd Lyons, Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE"). ECF No. 7. The Court noted, however, that if the parties filed a stipulation indicating that Juan had been released, the Court would cancel the hearing and would not require Lyons to appear. Id. The parties have now filed such a stipulation (ECF No. 9), and thus, as promised, the Court will cancel the hearing, and Lyons will not be required to appear. That does not end the Court's concerns, however. Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. The extent of ICE's noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated. This list is confined to orders issued since January 1, 2026, and the list was hurriedly compiled by extraordinarily busy judges. Undoubtedly, mistakes were made, and orders that should have appeared on this list were omitted. This list should give pause to anyone —no matter his or her political beliefs— who cares about the rule of law. ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence. The Court warns ICE that future noncompliance with court orders may result in future show-cause orders requiring the personal appearances of Lyons or other government officials. ICE is not a law unto itself. ICE has every right to challenge the orders of this Court, but, like any litigant, ICE must follow those orders unless and until they are overturned or vacated Juan asks that the Court schedule a hearing at which he may present evidence and argument concerning the hardships that he has suffered as a result of respondents' failure to abide by the January 14 order. See In re Tetracycline Cases, 927 F.2d 411, 413 (8th Cir. 1991) ("Civil contempt sanctions may be imposed for either or both of two distinct purposes, to coerce compliance with a court order, and to compensate the complainant for actual losses sustained by him as a result of the defendants' contumacy." (quoting In re Chase & Sanborn Corp., 872 F.2d 397, 400-01 (11th Cir.1989))). The Court will not schedule a hearing at this time. If Juan wants to seek monetary sanctions, he may file a properly supported motion to that effect. ORDER Based on the foregoing, and on all of the files, records, and proceedings herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the hearing currently scheduled for Friday, January 30, 2026, at 1:00 pm in Courtroom 15 (MPLS) is CANCELED.

We should be clawing back some of that money from before. Not giving them more. Hear me out‼️

NEW: $64B for DHS, about $10B for ICE

2025: A multi-year boost $170B for border enforcement, about $75B of that for ICE.

No Dem should have their name on a new ICE funding bill.

An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.

Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.

Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

Gisèle Pelicot is only the tip of the iceberg.
didn't do anything wrong': Husband used Reddit to ask stranger to rape wife while posing as swinger couple, downplayed it as 'bad judgment call,' cops say CHRIS PEREZ 1 comment SHARE Jan 27th An Arizona man is accused of secretly posting nude photos of his wife on Reddit while posing as a swinger couple and soliciting other men to rape her, according to police. One of the strangers who allegedly assaulted the wife has been arrested, along with the husband. "This was a bad judgment call," the 38-year- old husband admitted to his wife during a phone call she received while being interviewed by police about his alleged actions, according to court documents obtained by Law&Crime. The husband's identity has not been released by police to protect his wife's identity. "I didn't do anything wrong," the husband allegedly told his wife. "I didn't rape anybody. Nobody got hurt. From my knowledge, I did nothing wrong." Gilbert police say the man arranged for men he met online to sexually assault his spouse while she was unconscious. He allegedly drugged her without her knowledge and then asked individuals to come over to have sex with her while he recorded it. One of the men who came over, Evan Torres, 41, was identified after wearing a shirt during an assault that advertised his business, Powerhouse Dent Repair, and had his personal cellphone number on it, according to police. "I take full responsibility for acting out," the husband told his wife over the phone, according to the court documents. "I was frustrated and mad. I promise you, I did not know I was in the wrong." The wife came forward and reported her spouse to police after allegedly finding Reddit messages and videos of herself being drugged with sleeping pills and assaulted. She said she first found out about the abuse in October 2025 but was too afraid to report it at first because her husband was threatening to take their children away from her, according to the court documents. A report was finally filed earlier this month and the husband was arrested, along with Torres, following an investigation. The husband was charged with multiple felonies, including sexual assault and kidnapping. Torres is facing a charge of sexual assault. Police say the investigation is still ongoing as they search for others who were solicited and involved in the assaults.

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
