There are several federal court cases involving immigration enforcement activity in front of a judge this week. 

A federal judge in Minneapolis is ordering the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear personally in his courtroom on Friday. Judge Patrick Schiltz said ICE has failed to comply with dozens of court orders. And he wants the agency’s acting director, Todd Lyons, to answer for why he shouldn’t be held in contempt.

Over the weekend, the same judge had harsh words for the way the U.S. Justice Department is handling its case against a group of protesters who disrupted a St. Paul church service to protest ICE. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with MPR Reporter Matt Sepic to sort through the various legal filings.

Additionally, judges are considering temporary restraining orders in two separate federal cases dealing with the ongoing massive immigration operation in Minnesota. MPR reporters Peter Cox and Jon Collins give the latest on those cases.
