“A court order is not advisory, and it is not conditional,” Blackwell said. “It is not something that any agency can treat as optional as it decides how or whether to comply.”
Really? Clearly they can ignore your orders and have been ignoring them and will continue ignoring them. What are you gonna do about it? Cry louder?
Until they start sending out US Marshals and other judicial officers to arrest offenders and charging them for contempt… it kind of is just advisory.
Right, so the courts have their own “enforcers” US Marshals? And don’t rely on cops to arrest those breaking judge orders?
That would make sense, to have their own officers, independent of other agencies they might be prosecuting.
Yes and no. The US Marshals are law enforcement for he Federal Courts. However they are not a part of the judicial branch. They are still part of the executive branch and answer to the DOJ.
So… literally the “where does power lie” question from Game of Thrones. When you are meant to enforce the Court’s orders but you’re also meant to follow the DOJ’s orders, which orders do you follow when they conflict?
So if she stayed in the role after submitting her resignation (presumably talked into staying by her boss) and stayed because there was nobody to replace her and now she has been removed from the role, then who is doing her job?
They realised no one needs to do that job. They themselves are judges, juries and executioners. They are the law.
Billy Bob ICE agent just got promoted.
The Trump administration has been burning through lackeys since 2016. There aren’t enough people that are willing to commit crimes and ignire the constitution for very long. Even the dumb podcasters that voted and touted Trump are turning on him. This will implode eventually, probably in Nov.
They’re not going to abide by any orders anyway so why bother showing up to court at all? They can buy a lot of pepper spray and Punisher patches with all the money they were paying those lawyers.
“A court order is not advisory, and it is not conditional,” Blackwell said. “It is not something that any agency can treat as optional as it decides how or whether to comply.”
During the hearing, Le acknowledged that many at the DHS did not understand the seriousness of an order from a federal judge.
“It took a long, long, long time, and many orders to show cause to explain and let them know that if you don’t fix it, I’m going to quit and you’re going to be dragging yourself into court,” she said
So… Having nobody in the position will lead to less effective ICE defense against wrongful detainments? Was she helping enable ICE send people to Texas? Or was she sabotaging the fascism from within and doing what y’all advocate, “don’t quit, make them fire you”?
