Federal judge demands ICE release two men. But the agency ignores the court order, grabs them before they leave the building

We’ve got a truly wild and concerning story unfolding in Minnesota, where a federal judge’s authority seems to have been completely ignored by federal immigration agents. Two Venezuelan nationals, who were ordered released by a federal judge, were immediately re-arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents right there inside the courthouse before they could even walk out the door.

This whole situation involves 26-year-old Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. After a hearing on Tuesday, a judge decided that the men didn’t present a heightened flight risk, which meant they should be released under court-ordered conditions. However, the agents didn’t wait around. The men were taken back into custody almost instantly after the release order was issued, never actually leaving the federal building, as reported by Fox.
