The chief federal judge in Minnesota says the Trump administration has failed to comply with orders to hold hearings for detained immigrants and ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear before him Friday to explain why he should not be held in contempt.

In an order dated Monday, Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz said Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, must appear personally in court. Schiltz took the administration to task over its handling of bond hearings for immigrants it has detained.

That leads to the third, and in my opinion most crucial, feature.  TSMC is a dedicated contract chipmaker.  They only manufacture chips for the fabless semiconductor companies.  This is important because they have the engineering experience taping out these third-party designs.  It's a different skillset than taping out designs for your company's own engineers, which the process engineers at integrated device manufacturers usually lack..  Samsung has some experience with this.  Despite being largely an integrated device manufacturer, they have done some contract work with their most advanced processes, particularly for Nvidia.  Intel, though, is a pure integrated device manufacturer, and their attempts at contract manufacturing in the past have not gone well.

That is a very good point

Looks like ICE is going to italy for the olympics? Must be nice for the fascists to go visit where it all started. Like a pilgrimage

What the hell? Is ICE's jurisdiction the whole world and everything? I thought they were supposed to enforce customs and immigration?

To be fair, there are lots of non-US citizens in Italy.

It'd be funny if they got deported. Wonder if el salvador is willing to take Italian deporties.

Italy should really at least stop them from entering the country. We don't want them in the EU.

Plus some of them, I am sure, have earned a winter vacation.

With such an assignment you can give them comfy hotel rooms etc and it's not like they have coloured people to worry about on the winter olympics, amiright
