There is no formal mechanism for that. The Courts were intentionally designed to be insulated from public opinion, essentially so they would be free to do the unpopular thing when the law or Constitution so required.

Let’s not forget that detaining/imprisoning these folks cost money. They’re not going to be spending, so does the current maladministration have a plan to make up the lost revenue?

Which leaves, at some critical point, “informal” means as a last resort.

And, I have been warning people that he has a sex dungeon in the cellars of his house, like a character in a Stieg Larsson book. He’s not just a perv, I’m telling you!

Really? Because I find if offensively snobbish to call totalitarianism a 30 dollar word. Yes, it feels like America is in the top ten stupidest countries on earth, but maybe that’s because those in power talk down to us.

Not just that. Operations of the TRUMP GULAG cost money. Is Congress going to pass an appropriation to pay for operations, or is CF-DJT just going to “charge it”?

From Justice Sotomayor
“Rather than maintain the status quo, however, this Court now intervenes, lifting the injunction and permitting the Government to proceed with dismantling the Department.”
… … … … …
Used to be establishing departments or ending them was up to Congress. Now Congress is not needed and the SCOTUS is on trump’s leash. All power is in TSF’s hands.

I kinda, sorta, wonder if the Huffmans had their moving expenses covered by their neighbors and others from the surrounding area? I mean did they not factor in this language barrier, and that they decamped to a country that was fighting a war, and has even relied on N Korean soldiers to help try and win their fight in Ukraine?

If Donnie can just cancel and redirect any expense he wants to, it seems the ‘budget’ just becomes a slush fund for him to play with.

In the “Noem Method” of budgeting, you spend in one area (ICE detentions) like a drunk sailor on shore leave, and make up for it by tightly micromanaging spending in nonessential areas, like FEMA.

The BBB just passed and signed includes $170 billion dollars for immigration and border enforcement. $45 billion of that is for “for expanding detention facilities for both adults and families.” So hey, no problem there. It’s a good time to be a prison contractor.

You become the bigger monster and destroy them. That is what you do. That is what Robespierre did. The situation leaves no other practical choice.
