Mandamus in action

From the Seventh Circuit. The district court issued a TRO limiting ICE use of force around Chicago; she issued a second order requiring the chief of operations in Chicago to appear daily to report on the use of force (and possible violations of the TRO) that day. The Seventh Circuit granted mandamus as to the second order, saying it was too inquisitorial (the court not acting as neutral arbiter between adversarial positions) and infringed on separation of powers.
