ICE Arrests Plunge in Humiliating Blow to Stephen Miller

And the fact that they are still going through the effort to run to their daddy John Roberts means that they have a tiny thread of at least appearing to adhere to some court orders. If they were going to completely ignore the orders, they wouldn't bother.

I think some of the earlier cases where they dramatically violated the orders, were done as "tests" to see how far they could go. In those cases, I expect their business supporters were excoriating them behind the scenes (and perhaps even threatening to pull $$$ plugs) so they backed down.

Ironically, they have been responding to "the court of public opinion" (which is why the TACO moniker - and that isn't just for tariffs).
