“‘ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.’ That’s not a Democratic-appointed judge, that is a Republican-appointed judge describing the scale of illegality,” Murphy said in a Senate Appropriations hearing on Tuesday afternoon. “You always struck me as somebody who cared about the rule of law, and so maybe the easiest question is this: When DHS gets a court order telling them that something they are doing is either illegal and unconstitutional … can you commit to us that if a court judges something ICE is doing, something DHS is doing as illegal, unconstitutional, [or] tells you to stop, that you will comply with the court order?”

Obviously, the entire structure of the federal government gives the power to the courts to divine whether you are obeying the law or not .

Murphy So you’ll pick and choose which court orders you obey based upon whether—
Murphy: Then what are you saying then?
Murphy: You just said that you will not follow every court order, because—
Murphy: Will you implement court orders when they tell you to stop?
Murphy: Will you or will you not?
Mullin: I’m going to enforce the law, and I’ll never break the Constitution.
