ICE held in contempt for deporting 50+ asylum-seeking minors despite court order

Aug 6, 2026 · MD

A Maryland federal judge held ICE in civil contempt for wrongfully deporting more than 50 unaccompanied minors in violation of a blanket court order barring their removal. The judge found that subsequent efforts to bring some of the minors back did not remedy the initial violation.
