Libraries may sound appealing, but it's taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing books they may have already read.

It's the perfect metaphor. Fix something that isn't broken. Ignore experts and scientists. Spend tons of public money enriching Trump's friends. Reveal the fix as superior. Watch in the following days as it immediately becomes extremely clear how they made everything worse.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
On January 8, 2026, petitioner Juan T.R. filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus.' The Court issued an order requiring respondents to file an answer no later
than January 12, 2026. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243 (requiring judges to either "forthwith award
the writ" or order the respondent to show cause, within three days, why the writ should not be granted).Respondents failed to answer. Accordingly, the Court granted the writ in part
and ordered respondents to afford Juan a bond hearing within seven days or, failing
that, to immediately release him from detention. ECF No. 4.
Respondents neither held a bond hearing within the required time nor released
Juan. ECF No. 6. The Court then issued a show-cause order and scheduled a hearing at
which it ordered the personal appearance of Todd Lyons, Acting Director of U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE"). ECF No. 7. The Court noted,
however, that if the parties filed a stipulation indicating that Juan had been released, the
Court would cancel the hearing and would not require Lyons to appear. Id. The parties
have now filed such a stipulation (ECF No. 9), and thus, as promised, the Court will
cancel the hearing, and Lyons will not be required to appear.
That does not end the Court's concerns, however. Attached to this order is an
appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. The extent of
ICE's noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated. This list is confined
to orders issued since January 1, 2026, and the list was hurriedly compiled by
extraordinarily busy judges. Undoubtedly, mistakes were made, and orders that
should have appeared on this list were omitted.
This list should give pause to anyone —no matter his or her political
beliefs— who cares about the rule of law. ICE has likely violated more court orders inJanuary 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence. The
Court warns ICE that future noncompliance with court orders may result in future
show-cause orders requiring the personal appearances of Lyons or other government
officials. ICE is not a law unto itself. ICE has every right to challenge the orders of this
Court, but, like any litigant, ICE must follow those orders unless and until they are
overturned or vacated
Juan asks that the Court schedule a hearing at which he may present evidence
and argument concerning the hardships that he has suffered as a result of respondents'
failure to abide by the January 14 order. See In re Tetracycline Cases, 927 F.2d 411, 413
(8th Cir. 1991) ("Civil contempt sanctions may be imposed for either or both of two
distinct purposes, to coerce compliance with a court order, and to compensate the
complainant for actual losses sustained by him as a result of the defendants'
contumacy." (quoting In re Chase & Sanborn Corp., 872 F.2d 397, 400-01 (11th Cir.1989))).
The Court will not schedule a hearing at this time. If Juan wants to seek monetary
sanctions, he may file a properly supported motion to that effect.
ORDER
Based on the foregoing, and on all of the files, records, and proceedings herein,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the hearing currently scheduled for Friday, January
30, 2026, at 1:00 pm in Courtroom 15 (MPLS) is CANCELED.

The most succinct description of the murder I've seen.
About eight seconds after he is pinned, agents yell that he has a gun, indicating that they may not have known he was armed until he was on the ground.

The same agent who approached with empty hands pulls a gun from among the group that appears to match the profile of a firearm DHS said belonged to Mr. Pretti.

The agents appear to have him under their control, with his arms pinned near his head.

As the gun emerges from the melee, another agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range. He then appears to continue firing at Mr. Pretti, who collapses.

A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless.

In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.
