This article reports that ICE defied a federal judge's order by re-detaining 77-year-old Akram Mahmoud Omar, who had suffered a heart attack in custody. Despite the judge ordering his immediate release and cautioning against re-detention or deportation, ICE seized Omar again for a deportation flight, prompting the judge to re-issue the release order. This incident, according to attorneys, highlights a pattern of ICE disregarding judicial orders and constitutional rights, particularly concerning vulnerable individuals.
