Federal judge rules ICE in Iowa illegally detained man, tried to 'cover its tracks'

In a Jan. 2 order, U.S. District Judge Stephen Locher said ICE violated federal law when it detained Jorge Eliecer Gonzalez Ochoa on Dec. 23 because it had not yet issued a valid "Notice to Appear," a document the court said is required to start removal proceedings and justify detention.

"It is undisputed that ICE had an arrest warrant and order to detain as of that time, but that a Notice to Appear was not issued until some unspecified time later in the day," Locher wrote.

Although ICE later issued a Notice to Appear and thereby "cured" the initial defect, the court said the agency’s actions at the time of the arrest were unlawful and inconsistent with federal regulations.

Leading ICE agent spills on new recruits: 'Idiots'

Several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents revealed Monday that the Trump administration’s rush to add 10,000 new officers has produced a wave of undertrained and “sketchy” recruits, most of whom were “idiots,” a senior ICE agent told independent journalist Ken Klippenstein.

“The brand new agents are idiots,” the senior ICE agent said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

That sentiment was “echoed by virtually everyone” Klippenstein spoke to at ICE, some of whom recounted stunning anecdotes about the on-the-job behavior of some of the new recruits.

“A lot of the guys are honestly pretty sketchy,” said another ICE agent, who Klippenstein wrote was a “new recruit.” “I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect.”

Single UNAMED SOURCE = FAKE News.

There are at least 2 sources and they're unnamed because they fear of retribution kind of like why ICE/CBP agents wear masks.

So the lefty website claims. They could claim 10 for all I care. Still unverifiable with what could be exaggerations of opinions and facts to outright lies.

And yet still more believable than anything kos-play kristi, mcclaughlin and others say.

Kind of like how the only people who believe what kos-play kristi, mcclaughlin and trump regime cronies say are anti-Constitution fascist collaborators.

Why shouldn't sources be able to protect themselves from retribution just like masked ICE/CBP agents?

As sheriffs, we believe every member of our community deserves safety, regardless of immigration status. But our careers have taught us that our ability to protect and serve depends on public trust. When people worry that contact with law enforcement could put their loved ones or neighbors at risk, that trust breaks down. Victims are too afraid to call 911.

Witnesses stay silent. Crimes go unreported and investigations stall. I’ve heard these concerns from residents, teachers, and even police officers with immigrant friends or families. As this fear spreads, we all become less safe.
...
Asking local police to separate families for reasons often unrelated to public safety inflicts moral injury on the very people sworn to protect. Many of us entered this profession to safeguard children and neighborhoods, not to punish long-time residents over their immigration status.
...
Beyond the human costs, when local law enforcement works with ICE, it drains resources. Immigration enforcement is not a core responsibility of offices like ours, yet these agreements ask our counties to shoulder the cost.
...
Courts have also ruled that when someone is unlawfully held on an ICE detainer, the legal liability falls on the county, not the federal government. That means local taxpayers can end up footing the bill for mistakes or misconduct that may result from ICE enforcement.

For all of the potential downsides, these partnership agreements offer very little in return. Every hour our deputies would spend supporting federal deportation efforts is an hour not spent addressing serious crime, keeping the roads safe, or engaging with our communities. At a time when resources are stretched thin, diverting them toward immigration enforcement is both fiscally irresponsible and a threat to public safety.

The Administration Misleads & Ignores Courts Most Often in Immigration Cases

The fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti highlighted for the public how often the federal government misrepresents key details about its immigration enforcement activities. What’s less commonly understood is that the administration also carries these types of misrepresentations into judicial proceedings. In fact, immigration-related cases account for most of the deception and noncompliance by the Trump administration in court.

A compilation compiled by New York University law professor Ryan Goodman and his associates at Just Security shows that immigration-related matters were at stake in 24 of 42 instances (57 percent) in which judges found that officials had misled the courts. Immigration-related cases also topped Just Security’s list of instances where judges have found noncompliance with their orders: 19 of the 31 instances were immigration-related.
...
These are just the cases from January 2025 through November 2025. As Goodman and coauthors note, the Supreme Court also called out the first Trump administration for lying in Department of Commerce v. Trump for misrepresenting its reasons for adopting the citizenship question on the Census, stating “we cannot ignore the disconnect between the decision made and the explanation given.” Moreover, there were many new instances of deception and defiance in court since November of last year. Indeed, US District Judge Patrick Schiltz recently said that there have been “dozens of court orders with which respondents have failed to comply in recent weeks.”
...
This flagrant act of defiance occurred after the Supreme Court had found that the original set of removals was carried out unlawfully and in defiance of the district court’s order barring those removals, an instance of noncompliance that is included on the list.

There were also many clear violations of orders that no judge ultimately addressed, such as the illegal profiling raids blocked in Perdomo v. Noem. In order to further those raids in violation of the court order, the Justice Department actually fired Michele Beckwith, the acting US attorney in the Eastern District of California, who was overseeing and requiring compliance with the order.

She was not the only US attorney lost to the government’s attempt to evade judicial review. Acting deputy director in the Office of Immigration Litigation, Erez Reuveni, has said he was also fired for refusing to lie and accurately admitting that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was removed in error to El Salvador. He said that attorneys are being told to make misleading and false statements in courts by their superiors at the Justice Department. Similarly, the Chief of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee, Ben Schader, quit rather than file politically motivated charges against Abrego Garcia.
...
There have also been dozens of cases of charges filed against ICE protesters and ICE observers based on lies that have ultimately resulted in acquittals or dismissals of charges that are largely not represented on this list. As my colleague Walter Olson notes, these lies can have significant effects even outside of the criminal case. In a dissent in a case involving the deployment of the National Guard to support ICE, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito described an incident where:

"a federal vehicle carrying Border Patrol agents was boxed in on a public road by 10 civilian vehicles, and 2 of those vehicles rammed the Government vehicle. As the agents exited their vehicle, one of the civilian vehicles was driven directly at an agent, forcing the agent to fire in self-defense."

But this event never happened. It was a story invented by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to justify the shooting after the fact. There was one civilian car, not ten. The government’s vehicles were never boxed in, and the government’s criminal case against the preschool teacher driver was dismissed after video evidence showed it was DHS that rammed her vehicle and opened fire without provocation.
...
Americans depend on the courts to vindicate their rights when the government violates the law or the Constitution. When the executive branch misleads courts about its conduct or ignores their orders, courts cannot fulfill their role in limiting government, threatening the rights of everyone in the United States. Hopefully, this flurry of deception causes courts to scrutinize the government’s assertions more thoroughly than they have in the past.

Judges are just as much lawful authorities (if not more so) as ICE/CBP agents and their rulings should be respected. If DHS disagrees with a ruling they should appeal it, not violate it or tells the court "f*** you"!

DHS needs to be held accountable for interfering with / obstructing the judicial process.

First of all it was a FAKE NEWS headline. It said “ Why sheriffs say partnering with ICE endangers public safety.“ implying that ALL sheriffs are against the 287G program. Then just mentioned some sheriffs in 2 states The author didn’t say how many. Other sheriffs in red states all over the country are taking part and are clearly not against it.

Are sheriffs in red states taking part because they help them do the most to protect their constituents are are fiscally sound for their departments or are they taking part because 'Murica and loyalty to trump are more important than focusing their efforts on protecting their constituents and making fiscally sound decisions for their departments?
