## Key points

- A judge is investigating ICE re-arrests after court-ordered releases.
- Officials identified 14 people, but precise timings are still required.
- DHS says re-arrest is permitted if it complies with court rulings.

## Summary

A federal judge has ordered an ICE Denver official to appear in court over concerns that the agency may have re-arrested people soon after judges ordered their release. The inquiry matters because it will examine whether ICE followed court orders, though the judge has not said whether she will pursue contempt proceedings.

The court identified 14 people who were re-arrested after release from immigration detention, but officials have not yet provided the exact timing in each case. The inquiry includes Ramon Quintero Alvarez, whom ICE took back into custody immediately after his 27 October release; Judge Charlotte Sweeney later ordered his release and required clear and convincing evidence of flight risk or danger before he could be detained again. DHS says ICE can re-arrest people when it complies with judicial decisions.
