"No warning at all" violates the Judge Ellis specific court order.

Neighbors with whistles confronted the federal immigration agents and demanded they get out.
Videos from the scene show two vans used by the agents, one of which was slowly driving backward.
Most of the gathered residents were on the sidewalk with a few walking in the street near the vehicles, chanting traitors and go home. They didnt appear to touch it or the agents before tear gas is deployed.
Bruce Turner, 64, came outside when he heard the commotion and called the tear gas use unprovoked.
They have one car going backwards, one car going forward, and people are yelling at them, he said. Nobody touched them.
Another resident, who declined to give her name for fear of retribution, said she was at home working when she heard screaming and whistles, telltale signs that preface federal immigration agent sightings. She, too, criticized the feds use of tear gas.
There was no warning, no warning at all, she said.

It means nothing. These people can do whatever they want and this judge, at most, will scold them in a Susan Collins-style sternly worded letter.
In the majority of cases that you remember hearing about some favorable ruling, the case was paused or watered down or stopped by another judge or just largely ignored by this administration.
Th court system is just a bunch of spineless cowards and the law is ALWAYS going to favor the rich and well connected.
There is no such thing as "justice".
Go ahead, tell me about the "arc of justice" as I watch video of law enforcement repel from a Blackhawk helicopter in downtown Chicago to snatch up little naked children, zip tie their hands and throw them into the back of a U-Haul truck
