Okay. Considering the number of times that courts have issued orders, say to not fly somebody out of the ccountry or to release somebody, that were ignored by the administration, why have we seen no contempt charges filed?
When immigration enforcement are detaining and disappearing [members of the Sioux](https://www.fox9.com/news/oglala-sioux-leaders-seek-missing-members-detained-ice-minneapolis), can it be rationally argued that the actions in Minneapolis are even about immigration enforcement anymore? When does immigration enforcement cross the line to become a purge of undesirables?
When State official police departments are publicly ignoring requests from ICE, a clear divide is happening; what do you think will happen if states and ICE/CBP start butting heads more?
