DOJ acknowledges repeated court-order violations in New Jersey immigration cases

The Justice Department said its New Jersey office violated more than 50 court orders over the last 10 weeks in mass-immigration cases across about 547 matters, including a deportation to Peru despite an injunction and several missed deadlines for detainee releases and bond hearings. Associate Deputy AG Jordan Fox called the violations unintentional and corrected, while Judge Michael Farbiarz demanded a detailed plan by Feb. 25 to ensure 100% compliance. The disclosures have drawn nationwide concern about adherence to judicial orders amid the administration's deportation push, with Minnesota judges reporting 94 violations in January.
