ICE re-detains immigrants released by federal judges in Minnesota

Federal judges in Minnesota have ordered multiple immigration detainees released, only for ICE to immediately take them into custody again in what critics are calling a 'farce' tactic. The catch-and-release-and-catch cycle has drawn scrutiny from attorneys and advocates who argue it undermines court rulings and the rights of people in immigration proceedings.
Why now: Criticism and concern over ICE apparently defying judicial release orders is drawing attention to the tension between courts and immigration enforcement.
