Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is no longer required to appear in court on Friday, according to an order issued by Minnesota’s chief judge.

Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz canceled Friday’s hearing, noting that Lyons’ appearance is no longer required because the individual previously denied a bond hearing was released.

However, in his order issued on Wednesday, Judge Schiltz said that the release of Juan T.R. “does not end the Court’s concerns.”

Schiltz attached an appendix that he said identifies 96 court orders that ICE violated in 74 cases.

“This list should give pause to anyone — no matter his or her political beliefs — who cares about the rule of law,” Schiltz said. “ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Schiltz issued a warning to ICE, stating that “future noncompliance with court orders” may result in new orders requiring the appearance of Lyons or other government officials.

BREAKINGBREAKING,

Omar was sprayed with an unknown substance during the attack by a man, who was then tackled to the ground.

Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar has been attacked by a man while hosting a town hall meeting in Minneapolis.

Omar was sprayed with an unknown substance by the man before he was tackled to the ground on Tuesday.

The Reuters news agency said that Omar was not injured in the attack, and authorities have not said what substance was sprayed or whether charges have been filed against the assailant.

The audience cheered as the man was pinned down and his arms were tied behind his back. In a video clip of the incident, someone in the crowd can be heard saying, “Oh my god, he sprayed something on her”, the Associated Press news agency reported.

Omar continued the town hall after the man was ushered out of the room.

Just before the attack, she had called for the abolishment of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency and for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

“ICE cannot be reformed,” Omar said.

Minneapolis police did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident and whether anyone was arrested.

The White House did not immediately respond to a message from the AP seeking comment.
