This is what is needed. Because catch-n-release is simply not going to be part of the policy mix of this administration. No more free pass to the illegals.
If they are required to have a 20 day limit, my prediction is that there will be a huge push to have all hearings within 20 days. It should not be difficult. None of these people coming in are going to qualify for asylum, none have documentation, and getting beat up by your husband does not get you a green card. Under Obama, that was the case. Not under Trump.

What the AP doesn’t tell you:
Note: The motion was filed ex parte, meaning they’re asking the judge to grant the relief without any Due Process, i.e., no notice or opportunity to be heard. IOW, they want the court to grant the motion without considering argument from or even notice to the opposing parties. https://t.co/hJx6McBAhT

Nothing good can come out of the DOJ run by Ku Klux Keebler…
And a judge would do this why? Especially considering the current context and the history that led to the decree in the first place.
Because under Sessions they haven’t royally fucked this whole thing up enough apparently…they have to double-down on The Evil they’re still trying to do and get away with.
Fuck all this too.
How about an injunction from a judge in a federal court ordering the tRump administration less than 20 days to find 2300 girls, babies and toddlers and return them to their biological parents promptly and with some fucking restitution for pain and suffering while we’re at it?
“First lady Melania Trump made a surprise visit Thursday to a McAllen detention center…and said she wanted to lend her support to the children.”
Then dial Mueller’s number.
Quickly!
Let’s remember that the feds are apparently willing to spend $300,000 a year per refugee on incarceration. For a fraction of that they could buy these folks their own damn houses and resettle them.
With this white house I never know which Chinese fire drill I’m going to see. The amount of chaos and contradictions are impossible to follow. I’m amazed that our Glorious Leader hasn’t met himself coming back.
What is missing from this story is the request to allow the government to house these children in unlicensed and unregulated facilities. They are moving them to military bases to keep the press and the public out.
This story is not going away like Peter King, and others like him, hope.
Elsewhere within the DOJ, tense negotiations are ongoing between a Southern California cartoonist and the department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review regarding use of his work in its new stationary redesign.
The best offer, according to insiders, is that the department will take his address off of the ICE Auto-Alert Network (AAN).
UPDATE: Due to an unforeseen redesign, the DOJ’s EOIR is now offering to remove the artist’s entire family tree from the AAN in exchange for a second “design.”
“It’s vertical, like a tree” an EOIR spokesman said. “That’s means all of the illegals in his family will be safe. For now.”

That’s pretty good . . . .
The judge should throw this the fuck out. You agree to a settlement, you obey that settlement. Period. You don’t get to go VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE to pursue a policy CHOICE that just so happens, coincidentally, to create a massive human rights atrocity situation that supposedly “requires” changing that settlement agreement so you can do what you had wanted to do all along before the settlement agreement, i.e., incarcerate the children indefinitely. Any ruling short of the legalese version of “go fuck yourselves for trying to game the system in that manner” will be a massive MASSIVE failure on the part of the judicial branch.
20 days. Period. Free the children. If that requires freeing their parents, then suck it, bitches.
I confess to being pretty amazed that such a high number of undocumented immigrants (as statistics show) appear for their court dates. There are plenty of citizens who don’t do as well.
The municipal courts that generally tend to handle the more petty criminal stuff…DUI’s, domestic fights, shoplifting, etc., have lines out the fucking door of dipshit citizens who repeatedly break their parole. I’d like to see THAT statistic for comparison purposes. I would not be at all surprised if the illegal immigrants hoping for asylum and a chance at adding some kind of value to their lives and their children’s lives are waaaaay more likely to show up on average than the privileged, self-entitled pissant citizens clogging our court systems.
So who at the DoJ didn’t understand the Flores Settlement? Who vetted the “zero tolerance policy”?
I thought the Flores case was about how wrong it was keeping kids in detention facilities with their families? So what Trumpy & Co. decided was to take the kids, leave the parents in detention until court, and then they got no further than that.
Has HHS kept track of kids who passed the 20 day period?
Which judge? If it’s a Democratic appointee that says no, they’ll blare that all over state media when they start separations again.
