The federal judge identified 210 orders issued in 143 cases in Minnesota in which he said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had not complied with court orders.
The chief federal judge in Minnesota accused federal officials of continuing to disobey judicial orders related to immigration enforcement and then mischaracterizing the scope of their missteps.
The judge, Patrick Schiltz, threatened to hold government officials in criminal contempt if the pattern continued, writing in a scathing order on Thursday that, “one way or another, ICE will comply with this court’s orders.”
“The court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders,” wrote Judge Schiltz, who was nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush.
Right…
This is what failing to enforce their orders has wrought for the judicial branch. ICE will continue ignoring them until judges start ordering their bailiffs to take these scumbags straight to jail from the courtroom.
They won’t.
Watch
America has decided to live by the gun. Well, now is the time to act on it before the barrel gets pointed on you all.
The fuck it will. Until you grow a god damn spine and actually issue contempt charges (and have them enforced), ICE is going to continue to wipe their asses with your ‘orders’ and the US Constitution.
Threatening it and not doing it is arguably worse than the crime itself. You are an accomplice until you do your fucking duty.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we have to start protesting these judges for not doing anything. Feet to the fire. They’re on the right track, but nothing is still fucking nothing.
ICE will comply with this court’s orders
“make me”
Patrick Joseph Schiltz (born July 6, 1960) is an American lawyer and jurist serving since 2022 as the chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. He was appointed to the Minnesota federal district court in 2006 by President George W. Bush.
Spine… Found
There’s the problem. You’ve threatened again and again and again. Do it, cowards.
Even if they wanted to, they rely on Executive branch enforcement.
The US Marshalls need to be moved under the authority of the Judicial branch.
Force their hand. Either they enforce contempt charges or there’s a wide open constitutional crisis.
Don’t judges have jurisdiction over the bailiffs in their courts? Issue a warrant, order them to organize a posse and haul them in to face consequences aka jail time.
Yep. Deputize ME and let ME deal with this as The Law.
