ICE Official Held in Contempt | Baton Rouge News
Description
A federal judge in Baton Rouge just slapped ICE official Vernon Liggins with contempt for blatantly ignoring court orders on due process — a major blow to ICE’s authority. On his last day as acting director in Baltimore, Liggins personally ordered the detention of Ibrahim Mohammed, an Ethiopian man legally protected from deportation to Ethiopia, without following basic legal procedures. The judge ruled this was unlawful, forcing ICE to release Mohammed immediately and pay his legal fees and lost wages. With the courts stepping up enforcement amid heightened deportation efforts, this ruling signals that ICE can no longer bend the rules — or face even harsher consequences.
