The U.S. Supreme Court denied an emergency request to stop redistricting in California and federal district court judges extended temporary protected status for Haitians, rejected ICE’s 7-day notice requirement for legislative visits to detention facilities, and restricted the use of tear gas on protestors and journalists.

Several individuals who were detained by ICE, along with the brothers of Renee Good, bravely provided powerful testimony before House and Senate Democrats, giving Americans an opportunity to bear witness to the violent tactics and lack of due process.

While another 8 lawyers leave the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, a federal judge held a hearing to determine why ICE is failing to comply with his orders to release unlawfully detained individuals. An ICE attorney provided a rare glimpse inside ICE operations, decrying the lack of attorneys and infrastructure, confessing, “Sometime I wish you would just hold me in contempt, your honor, so that I can have a full 24 hours of sleep.” She described the difficulties of getting ICE to release detainees, stating, “I am here just trying to make sure that the agency understand[s] how important it is to comply with all the court orders, which they have not done in the past or currently.”
