Most of the time, ICE does comply with court orders. There is a definite survivorship bias at play where stories of compliance don't make the media, but stories of non-compliance do. The courts have been, and continue to be, a major thorn in the Trump administration's side.

I watch pretty much all of legal eagles videos and from what they’ve been reporting it appears ice and dhs are ignoring the courts wholesale. The courts are starting to drag sitting US attorneys into court to testify because they have been ignoring court orders.

Where have you seen info of ice complying with orders because everything i’ve seen with my lying eyes says they aren’t.

Why would legal eagle report on cases where Ice complies? That would make some pretty boring content.

The numbers I can find for compliance failures are between 4k and 5k. That is a lot, but not in the context of the 3m+ deportations that Trump's ICE has done.

I'm not trying to defend ICE here. Anything less than 100% compliance should result in prosecutions. I just don't want to promote the false notion that legal action is useless.
