Immigration and Customs Enforcement has made yet another arrest at a New York City immigration court, despite a May ruling from a federal judge that broadly blocked such detentions.
U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled May 18 that ICE never had the legal justification to make these arrests. His order, which applied to immigration courts in Manhattan, kneecapped the agency’s controversial strategy of detaining people as they arrived for mandatory immigration hearings.
Despite that, ICE has made at least six arrests in Manhattan immigration courts since Castel issued his order. The latest arrest came on Thursday, when agents detained Bronx resident Matar Ndiaye while he was “dutifully attending an immigration court hearing for his asylum claim,” according to court filings.
Contempt charges?
This is all theater. The courts will hem and haw about rights and rule of law but ultimately wont do jack shit all to cement the SS…sorry ICEs position above the law and ability to take who ever when ever they want from where ever.
You’re not wrong. The court was complicit as they can declare the “arrests” illegal.
Minor correction, these aren’t the SS they are the SA. This is why we need to fight now, they’re not yet organized enough to be the SS, they’re still forming. We still have a chance to create enough political pressure to disband them.

2 years down the line and they’ll issue the third final warning to stop doing illegal things, which the appeals court will immediately stay because a few months without optimal inductions into the concentration camps is considered an irreversible harm.
All the ice agents look like they have pink eye.
