A District Judge, Fred Biery, has ordered the release of an asylum seeker, Adrian Conejo Arias, and his son, Liam Ramos, from immigration detention.KAREMegija MedneCST January 31, 2026A judge has ordered the release of an asylum seeker and his 5-year-old son, who were detained in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, and transferred to a detention facility in Texas.The U.S. District Court Judge Fred Biery ruled that Adrian Conejo Arias and his 5-year-old son, Liam Ramos, should be released from custody "as soon as practicable" but no later than Tuesday, Feb. 3.[...]In an opinion, the judge strongly criticized the tactics used by immigration agents, saying that this case originates from "the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children."
In her ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut found President Trump “did not have a lawful basis to federalize the National Guard.”By Conrad Wilson (OPB) and Michelle Wiley (OPB)Nov. 7, 2025President Donald Trump was permanently blocked from sending the National Guard to Portland by U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut, who delivered her final order in the case Friday.The litigation has centered around whether ongoing protests outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in the city warrant a National Guard deployment. In her ruling, she acknowledged “violent protests did occur,” but law enforcement was able to address them.“Since that brief span of a few days in June, the protests outside the Portland ICE facility have been predominately peaceful, with only isolated and sporadic instances of relatively low-level violence, largely between protesters and counter-protesters,” the judge wrote in her 106-page order, “this Court concludes that even giving great deference to the President’s determination, the President did not have a lawful basis to federalize the National Guard.”
The ruling by U.S. District Judge William Young follows a November 2025 motion filed by Columbia’s Knight First Amendment Institute.By Nadia Knoblauch and Dora GaoJanuary 22, 2026A federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deporting noncitizen students or faculty over participation in pro-Palestinian protests in a Thursday ruling, following a November 2025 motion filed by Columbia’s Knight First Amendment Institute.[...]The ruling states that Department of Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s threats to detain, deport, or revoke visas from students for political speech have “objectively chilled protected speech that violated the First Amendment.”The ruling states that the “ideological deportation” policy violates the APA due to its violation of constitutional rights and for being based on statutes that “have never been used in this way,” referencing Rubio’s invocation of the rarely used legal provision to detain Khalil.
Judges have ruled against the administration in more than 1,600 cases.PoliticoBy Kyle Cheney01/05/2026Federal judges are increasingly exasperated by the Trump administration’s effort to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation proceedings — a draconian expansion of decades-old policies that hundreds of courts have rejected as illegal or unconstitutional.More than 300 federal judges, including appointees of every president since Ronald Reagan, have now rebuffed the administration’s six-month-old effort to expand its so-called “mandatory detention” policy, according to a POLITICO analysis of court dockets from across the country. Those judges have ordered immigrants’ release or the opportunity for bond hearings in more than 1,600 cases.[...]Federal judges are increasingly exasperated by the Trump administration’s effort to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation proceedings — a draconian expansion of decades-old policies that hundreds of courts have rejected as illegal or unconstitutional.More than 300 federal judges, including appointees of every president since Ronald Reagan, have now rebuffed the administration’s six-month-old effort to expand its so-called “mandatory detention” policy, according to a POLITICO analysis of court dockets from across the country.

PBS News HourPress conference about 'Operation Midway Blitz' in Gary, IndianaBy Mike Catalini, Associated Press, Steve Karnowski, Associated PressJan 27, 2026The chief federal judge in Minnesota says the Trump administration has failed to comply with orders to hold hearings for detained immigrants and ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear before him Friday to explain why he should not be held in contempt.In an order dated Monday, Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz said Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, must appear personally in court. Schiltz took the administration to task over its handling of bond hearings for immigrants it has detained."This Court has been extremely patient with respondents, even though respondents decided to send thousands of agents to Minnesota to detain aliens without making any provision for dealing with the hundreds of habeas petitions and other lawsuits that were sure to result," the judge wrote.The order comes a day after President Donald Trump ordered border czar Tom Homan to take over his administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota following the second death this month of a person at the hands of an immigration law enforcement officer.
The judges are seeing through all of Trump's crap!
