https://www.reuters.com/legal/govern...ed-2026-02-14/Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
The decisions amount to a sweeping legal rebuke of Trump’s immigration crackdown. Yet the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely even after courts ruled the policy was illegal.
"It is appalling that the Government insists that this Court should redefine or completely disregard the current law as it is clearly written," U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston of West Virginia, an appointee of President George W. Bush, wrote last week, ordering the release of a Venezuelan detainee in the state.
Most of the rulings center on the Trump administration’s departure from a nearly three-decade-old interpretation of federal law that immigrants already living in the United States could be released on bond while they pursue their cases in immigration court.

formally speaking it's a civil suit, but some criminal penalties may apply
(no chance under Harmeet Dhillon)
Judge Schiltz calls off contempt hearings (ICE released the prisoner, conforming narrowly with his order) but puts ICE on notice

In addition to reviewing his prior cited cases, Schiltz presents more than 100 additional instances of noncompliance.
Judge orders show cause hearing for civil and criminal contempt in 28 adjudicated illegal detention cases in which DHS ignored court orders to give back confiscated property
Judge Bryan in Minnesota has scheduled a combined contempt hearing in more than two dozen immigration cases for what he says has been widespread defiance of his orders to ensure released detainees are given their confiscated property.https://storage.courtlistener.com/re...30182.16.0.pdf

rampant lawbreaking by DHS
These habeas cases come before the Court for the enforcement of the Court’s prior orders. In each case, the Court ordered the release of Pe ioners, all of whom had been unlawfully detained by Respondents. Additionally, in each case, the Court ordered Respondents to return all personal belongings taken from Pe ioners during their unlawful detention because Respondents have no lawful claim to such property.1 The property at issue includes personal belongings such as cash, cellphones, jewelry, driver’s licenses, work permits, passports, clothing, and other identification and immigration do ents.
In light of Respondents’ numerous unlawful violations of court orders in these and other recent habeas cases, see, e.g., Juan T.R. v. Noem, et al., 26-CV-0107 (PJS/DLM), Doc. 10-1 (D. Minn. Jan. 28, 2026), on February 20, 2026, the Court ordered Respondents “to immediately return all property in their possession, custody, or control to Pe ioner’s counsel” and to file declarations “by an individual with personal knowledge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746 confirming that all property of Pe ioner was returned to Pe ioner and attaching do entation of that fact.” The Court notified Respondents that if they did not comply by 11:00 a.m. on February 25, 2026, they would face contempt proceedings. As of the date of this Order, Respondents have not complied. The Court cannot ignore Respondents’ unlawful conduct.

Kash Patel is a disgrace to the country and his command
He should resign
I'm hard pressed to think of anyone in this administration that isn't a disgrace. Starting with the felon in chief.
their whole crooked firm is boobs, cranks and incompetents
criminality is an essential bond, they all have on each other
many will remember, the official angle then was that Renee Good assaulted Jonathan Ross
this is the case where the government illegally detained people, then ignored court orders to give back their belongings and do ents
Good, the judge should threaten them with jail time. ers.
the US judiciary dealing with a rampantly lawless executive branch is a relative novelty, but I think these federal district court judges have some starch
they'll figure out what to do and other judges will follow it if the local rules allow
