Contempt feels like the bare minimum here.

Blatant contempt barely scratches the surface of this.

I think the situation is actually the absence of actual law

Again, Trump - a man who’s insistent about imposing extremely high tariffs on imports - is happily content with exporting torture without due process. (But also importing white South Africans while banishing people of color.)

I wish that I could personally engineer the kidnapping and trafficking of several of the administration officials to south Sudan, so that they would understand what’s at stake here. I cannot. And I would not. But it sure as fuck is what they deserve.

Trump is going against the law, the courts and the constitution. He does what he wants and doesn't listen to the courts. He needs to be put in prison

What do you think the probabilities are that Judge Murphy will find criminal contempt tomorrow? Does he have to order a show cause first, or can he just be like, “Everyone’s going to jail. Let’s see how you like it.” (obviously not like that, but, ya know)?

What's worrisome is the Medicaid bill supposedly has a provision to suspend contempt of court.

If you mean the “One Big Beautiful Bill” yes there does seem to be a section (70302) preventing the enforcement of contempt for failure to enforce an injunction if “no security was given” when the injunction was requested “pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c)”.

Yes I mean the Death bill. And yeah that's the part. I also forgot to mention I believe there's another part that goes after free speech.

The Felon and his Minions are nothing more than gangsters and criminals! The Supreme Court's immunity decision caused this and that decision needs to be challenged in some form or manner.

The so-called conservatives on the Supreme Farce are no better than those gangsters & criminals and they all need to be held accountable.

What will it take to force the removal of this tyrant from office and get someone to replace him, and all of his MAGA fools as well, to restore our democratic republic?

The point isn't that the Trump Administration actually deport people to these unstable countries - the whole point is the fuss created in the courts and the media, loudly demonstrating to the public that Trump is trying to fulfill his election promises, but the courts won't let him.

"The Trump administration’s apparent attempt to send people to South Sudan who have no connection to the country is both horrifying on its face and appears to directly violate a preliminary injunction issued by Murphy earlier this year." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

I am not surprised. Trump and his Regime think they can do anything, even defy SCOTUS. The question is: who will stop them?
