Federal Immigration Officials, Including Attorney General and DHS Secretary, Held in Contempt for Disobeying Court Orders

A Pennsylvania judge has held U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, and a Philadelphia Field Office Director in civil contempt. The ruling stems from federal immigration officials' failure to obey court orders and the unlawful arrest of a man just two months after his ordered release from immigration detention.
