Originally published at: Judge Thwacks Trump Admin For Defying Her Order In Alien Enemies Act Case - TPM – Talking Points Memo
The pattern of defiance is so familiar now that there is almost no benefit of the doubt left for federal judges to give the Trump administration. This morning, in one of the key cases in which the U.S. government has been ordered to “facilitate” the return of a deported individual, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher…

The Federal Administrative branch doesn’t care about the law apparently any longer. It’s been taking the Judiciary branch 5 years to catch up.

Donnie is about to turn 79 years old and it is about damned time that someone told him “NO!” and was able to enforce it. The fate of the nation depends upon it.

“Upon directive of the Office of Attorney General and, upon information and belief, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, we have been instructed to withhold compliance with the Court’s orders in this case.”
Easy peasy. Go out on your shield, morons.

Seems to me that the appropriate people to round up are AG Bondi and Stephen Miller.
Unless those two people are kings, also.

Yes, jail them until the detainees are returned. Time to pull the bandage off.

Goes back to my question from earlier today, asking what happens even if contempt proceedings are started. Another slap on the wrist that is ignored?

Gallagher pulled no punches, writing that the administration’s status report:

What happens now?
Absolutely nothing. Zero, Zilch, Nada.
