Dmitrii I.: Russian man held in Florida as government repeatedly violated court orders
Dmitrii Iastrebov, held at a Florida detention facility, was ordered released after a judge found the government repeatedly ignored court orders granting him a bond hearing.
Jun 12, 2026FLCountry of origin: Russia

U.S. District Judge Kyle Dudek ordered the immediate release of Dmitrii Iastrebov, detained at Baker County Detention Facility in Florida, after finding the Trump administration repeatedly violated court orders regarding his right to an individualized bond hearing. The government initially conceded Iastrebov was entitled to a bond hearing, but when an immigration judge refused to hold it, government lawyers accepted that refusal without appeal. When Iastrebov petitioned federal court again, the government claimed its previous concession "was in error" and asked the court to reverse its own decision. Judge Dudek rejected this request, criticizing the government's conduct as "a masterclass in litigation cynicism" and "a complete inability to follow judicial directions," and ordered Iastrebov's release within 48 hours.
