Yet the judge did not hold the government in contempt for missing the deadline to reunite more than a third of the forcibly separated children.
WTF is it going to take for this Judge to do that?
whether to leave their child behind in the U.S. to pursue his or her own asylum claim or be deported together.
When Sophieâs Choice became US immigration policy.
Hold the government in contempt and put a responsible official in jail without bond until every family is reunited. The higher up the food chain the better.
A prominent advisor to the Department of Homeland Security, Elizabeth
Holtzman, quit her position last week in protest of Donald Trumpâs
immigration policies. In her resignation letter, dated July 16, she says
that agency head Kirstjen Nielsen should really be the one stepping
down, instead.
âUnder your administration and that of Donald Trumpâs, DHS has been
transformed into an agency that makes war on immigrants and refugees,â
she writes to Nielsen. She concludes: âAlthough it is I who am resigning
in protest over these policies, it is you who should be tendering your
resignation instead.â
Watch for the Don to make some deep ,insightful comments like âloser activist judges destroying Americaâ
I nominate Kirstjen Nielsen for this signal honor.
Simply sadism.
Trump doesnât care. This act of his was for the pleasure of his minions.
Judge All Hat, No Cattle needs to use his powers to motivate these fascist assholes ⌠anything short of that is just words.
No sanctions i guess
âLosingâ is quite a euphemism for what is being done to the parents.
Time to publicly shame all Trump administration members and McConnell and Ryan. Make lif unbearable for the fascists!
The judge slammed the administration?
Where? When, and how? No one in the administration was punished. The judge didnât do shit but acknowledge his order was not carried out.
Trump Administration Attorney: âBut your Honor, these are darker-skinned children!â
The judge may be trying to hold off a government appeal of his orders to reunite the children with their parents. Holding one or more of the defendants in contempt could enable the government to file a quick appeal which could result in putting Judge Sabrawâs orders on hold while the matter went from the US Court of Appeals to possibly the US Supreme Court. I think heâs trying to do what he can before the case goes on appeal. It would feel absolutely great to have him put these sadists in jail though (where they all belong).
Among all of his other flaws, it is now obvious that Donnie Boy is a sociopath.
agree. The judge wants the families together first. The Trumpp admin would otherwise blame the judge for making it âdifficultâ to get the families reunited and to carry out other changes.
Judge Slams Trump Admin For âLosing Several Hundred Parentsâ
Thatâs great, Judge.
So, when do Miller, Nielsen, et.al. go to jail? Asking for America.
EXACTLY ! - Trump is gratuitously inflicting hardship for the purposes of satisfying the vile hate-filled sadistic desires of his strident right-wing base - if there was a way that Trump could order that the right hand of each âillegalâ be chopped off as a means of permanently designating their status - his base would applaud wildly ⌠and not a singly one of these assholes would pause and say âwait ⌠maybe this is too extremeâ ⌠nope there would be a better chance that they would say - âwhy not both hands ⌠or their head?â
Hold the government in contempt and put a responsible official in jail without bond until every family is reunited. The higher up the food chain the better.
This, absolutely. But it will never happen. As much as both sides hate each other, the political class is united in its insistence that none of them should ever have to suffer any substantial intrusion into their lives, no matter what they do.
Politicians no longer fear us. They know they can stay in power by weaponizing our points of disagreement, and that solidarity among themselves will always intervene to block justice. And when the alternative is being cast back down into the devil-take-the-hindmost jungle that rich people and unimaginative Libertarians have made of our society, can you really blame them?
If Nielsen had to spend even one weekend in jail, these kids would be back with their families before I strolled into work Monday morning.
I nominate Kirstjen Nielsen for this signal honor.
Oh no there are plenty of people to go around from each department.
