A federal judge in West Virginia has given the Trump administration an ultimatum: Stop illegally detaining immigrants or face contempt rulings and “monetary sanctions against responsible officials.”
“Today, the Government continues to wrongfully detain those petitioners without due process,” [Goodwin’s] opinion reads. “Even now the Government incredulously asserts that the federal district courts do not have jurisdiction, that petitioners cannot raise due process violations, and that the Government has authority to mandatorily and indefinitely detain noncitizens in the local jail. The Government is wrong. Judges in this district have said that over and over and over again. I have said it myself.”
lol.
lmao, even.
“This is our final warning” -type energy here.
next one comes on pink paper, then the following on red paper.
Not good enough, arrested, convict, and executed there traitors.
Not explicit enough
Explicit notice would be finding the assholes in contempt. Maybe if the ICE/Justice Department lawyers dropped their pants and took a crap on the gavel it would result in something other than a strongly worded letter.
Monetary sanctions? Oh ok, nevermind. They’re not going to do anything.
Everyone go back to loading magazines and assembling pipe bombs.
It might almost matter if they could enforce the monetary sanctions.
But POTUS can just ignore the fees and keep doing what they’re doing until the executive branch fully deletes the judicial.
There is only one solution to all this and this ain’t it.
Another strongly worded letter. Arrest them. Do it now.
Lemmy really hates it when people with legal authority actually use that authority to do something. I guess they’d prefer if they all just rolled over and let the Nazis win.
They’re not doing anything. They’re merely saying they could do something in the future
Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do
If the judges handing out these warnings agreed with the illegal detentions, but didn’t want to explicitly break the law themselves, what would they do differently? I don’t think anything. If they wanted these illegal detentions to happen, while still covering their own ass, they’d do exactly this: Drag their feet on doing any action, while verbally condemning the government breaking the law
What is wrong with you?
Name is relevant, WTF…
Like that’s going to do jack shit. You don’t stop the secret police with sanctions.
ya sure… when
Stop fucking saying it’s going to happen and just do it you assholes.
Make it arrests and potentially executions for the egregious extremity of the nature of misuse of state power against citizens, and something might actually change. Nothing else resonates with this regime, clearly, why would they stop now?
JAIL TIME! WE WANT JAIL TIME!!! LIFE IN PRISON!!
Can you email judges? If so email this fucking judge and all judges and reps.
Judges do have public contact information (here is this judge’s: https://www.wvsd.uscourts.gov/judges-info/district-court-judges/joseph-r-goodwin), but judges are not public representatives. They don’t (directly) answer to the people. There are also a lot of laws protecting the judicial process
This is one year overdue. Just fucking do it!!!
