A federal judge in Minnesota on Wednesday canceled a scheduled contempt of court hearing for acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons after the agency complied with an order to release an Ecuadorian national.
Chief U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz in Minneapolis had ordered Lyons to appear in court at 1 p.m. local time on Friday to answer questions over ICE’s decision to ignore nearly 100 court orders issued during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement crackdown.
