A federal judge in the United States has ordered the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to testify in court regarding the rights of detainees. The move comes after a judge expressed frustration with the agency’s handling of hundreds of court cases and the lack of due process for detained immigrants.
According to reports, Judge Patrick J. Schiltz of the U.S. District Court in Minnesota has directed Acting Director T. Douglas Rankle to appear in court on Friday to explain the agency’s actions.

The move comes amid a wave of protests and demonstrations across the United States, including in the city of Minneapolis, where a federal judge has ordered the ICE director to testify.
