Minnesota judge summons ICE chief to court

Minnesota’s chief federal judge has ordered the head of ICE to appear in court over the agency’s handling of bond hearings for detained immigrants, amidst ongoing protests against Trump’s immigration crackdown. The order follows Trump’s appointment of Tom Homan as “border czar” in Minnesota after recent deaths at the hands of immigration officers. The court has granted a petition for a bond hearing to a detainee, with the judge warning of ICE’s violations of court orders. The petitioner, Juan TR, remains detained and ICE’s acting director, Todd Lyons, must appear in court on Friday unless the petitioner is released from custody.
