A POLITICO review of hundreds of cases reveals ICE's pattern of noncompliance with court orders to release detainees, causing frustration among federal judges nationwide. Judges report that even when ICE complies with release orders, it frequently delays compliance for days or weeks, sometimes releases detainees without their belongings or documents, and in some cases has deported people in violation of court orders. Federal judges from multiple states have issued pointed rulings criticizing ICE's conduct as illegal and unconstitutional.
