Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Mayor Frey makes this point: Yesterday, more than 15,000 people marched the streets of Minneapolis.
"Not a single broken window, not a single injury."
"Conversely, the mass militarized force and unidentified agents who are occupying our streets, that is what weakens our country."

If initial reports are true, they shot someone who they'd wrestled to the ground. Potentially an observer. These agents must be arrested and brought to justice.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

DHS says their agents had every right to drag a U.S. citizen half-naked out of his home because they were targeting criminals.
The family says that’s entirely false: there was no warrant, no one else lives there, and they have no link to the targets.

According to his sister-in-law, they returned him after realizing he’s a naturalized U.S. citizen with no criminal record.
