Judge launches inquiry into Trump administration’s refusal to seek return of wrongly deported man
This is lightspeed in justice system time... this had better lead to some actual serious hearings and consequences for non-compliance, and no room for stalling and delaying from the Trump admin.
Or very importantly when the trump admin ignores it, everyone needs to be paying very close attention, and screaming at the top of our lungs.
I'm afraid they're following their own chaotic plan to disobey the law (the constitution), and normalize it so everyone gets used to it. And they use whatever propaganda methods to convince their base (easily) its all ok or for the good.
Once this happens, then they can start doing even worse stuff. Who knows what else. They can't be allowed to cross this line, but I'm not optimistic at all.
A two week inquiry? What in the actual fuck? If I disregarded any judge's order my ass would be in prison for contempt. But Trump gets to disregard every court up to and including SCOTUS and he's met with a two week inquiry where nobody is going to recall a single fucking thing? The US has fallen to a dictatorship. Our little democratic experiment has concluded.
Meanwhile, a family is missing their father and his life is in danger every day he's in that torture chamber. Heck, he's probably dead already
Two weeks to decide which things or new rulings they've made fucked them and why and then they rule they were incorrect which has happened in has American history several times including roe v Wade during most of their tenure.
Judge launches inquiry into Trump administration’s refusal to participate in inquiry into Trump administration's refusal to seek return of wrongly deported man
That judge is about to take an unexpected trip to El Salvador.
Seriously though, good luck everyone. Shit is only going to get worse before it gets better.
So after a two week inquiry, there may be a finding. So now we're going to have to have a hearing to see if the finding is worthy of an inquiry to see if contempt of court charges are warranted. After that will be a hearing to discuss that this is the first of Trumps ten attempts to violate court orders and then they'll be an inquiry to discuss an investigation over the possibility of holding a hearing where consequences may be threatened.
By the time all that's done, there will be a litany of other human rights violations committed by the Trump administration
Genuine question:
How do courts and the legal system actually enforce these decisions? I can't see US Marshalls walking into the White House and handcuffing trump. So what is it that they can do, if anything?
I'm surprised how little it's known, but judges, when issuing contempt decisions, can deputize as necessary. Resulting in arrests.
The US Marshalls are not needed for that. The supreme Court also has its own marshall.
The separation of powers has teeth, it just hasn't commonly been necessary.
The Supreme Marshall is only legend
I'm just a layperson, but my guess would be that they could start from the bottom and work their way up. They can't touch Trump, but they can start sending US Marshalls to round up the underlings that refuse to obey the orders or the court.
Now would the Marshalls do that? Who the hell knows. And maybe there's a problem with that plan I don't know. I like it better than just assuming the executive branch is defacto untouchable.
That's going to lead to an armed confrontation at some point that no one wants. Though, you never hear of a coup by the judiciary. That would be something new.
Launch some fucking armed personnel to detain the people ignoring court orders and get some answers, you ineffectual fucking buffoons.
Inquiry? He said "fuck you I do what I want". Inquiry complete. This is now a kidnapping. Sure you can't arrest the main cult MAGAt, but everyone else involved can get warrants and arrests.
He probably was murdered or badly hurt. So that's probably why...they can't habeas corpus.
Crickets... very loud.
Lol king diaper don suddenly gonna start listening to judges now? He ignores scotus...
Fuck that felon. He belongs in El Salvador.
I can’t wait for the “Tersely Worded Letter” phase of this absolute farce.
The Supreme Court already ruled that the Court needs to respect the president's foreign policy power. The El Salvador president said they are not going to deport their own citizen. This is really the end of the discussion in this matter.
This is why Trump said the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trump.
