North Dakota
Entries whose effect landed somewhere in North Dakota (ND) — a city, a county, a campus, a detention facility — whichever government acted. Federal conduct inside North Dakota counts here.
This is not the same set as North Dakota's jurisdiction page, which records the 12 entries where North Dakota's own government was the acting authority, wherever those events happened. The two overlap and neither contains the other: place and power are separate facts, and statewide acts appear there and not here.

ICE detained Werner Kunkel under a removal order tied to his vacated murder conviction, hours after a judge ordered his release
ICE took Werner Kunkel, 65, into federal immigration custody at the Devils Lake, North Dakota jail on August 13, 2026, one day after North Dakota District Judge Ted Sandberg ordered him released on a $25,000 personal-recognizance bond with electronic monitoring. The detainer ICE invoked traces to a 1996 removal order based on the same 1995 murder conviction a state court vacated in February 2026 after finding prosecutors withheld exculpatory evidence. ICE transferred Kunkel to the Grand Forks County Jail to await deportation proceedings, and no bond hearing had been scheduled as of this recording.
