Horrors! The Rule of Law requires actual statutes … AND accountability … Republican crickets are loud in their silence.

The judges have given this administration enough rope already--it's time to bring these people back and to find members of this criminal administration in contempt already!

That these students were swept off the streets for their criticism—if the critics ridicule you, don’t be ridiculous.

Good summary of all the migrant court case activity this week.

Trump thinks he owns SCOTUS, which is why they don't seem to care about the lower courts. And SCOTUS has done little to refute this by its horrendous actions.

But very glad that Ozturk is being released.

will proceedings continue in immigration court and if so, which--VT? And will immigration court give "great deference" to Rubio's unsupported opinion that her presence "would compromise a compelling United States foreign policy interest."

She was being held in a LA ICE detention center near New Orleans that's well known as a logistical hub used for shipping people to CECOT to rot and die.

I don't know...just seems judges handout judgements and tRump's administration ignores them and nothing happens. So once they ignore these new ones, what is the next step? Do the heads of departments get scooped up and put in jail for contempt? Or do they just get to keep saying fuck you to our judicial system and show that lawsuits are not getting us anywhere if nothing is enforced to make them quit trying to do this shit again & again???????????????? Also our law enforcement seems to be becoming more corrupt on a daily basis. I realize people have to pay bills, take care of families, but you had better look into your soul and decide if you & your family are going to be able to live with your actions of treating people like trash to be thrown out. Sorry but I have always thought ICE is corrupt, seems like people that have a axe to grind and no empathy for anyone.
