Of course he defied orders! How many times does this Mfkr get a pass every time he's found in Contempt ?? Apparently, the answer is yes.
The People are tiring rapidly of this ridiculous charade. $h1ts going to hit the fan soon if these judges keep up with this permissive BS.
What's to investigate judge? You know what's going on. At this point, you need to deputize some of your bailiffs, some national guards and go arrest their asses for contempt of court.
Investigation isn’t enough. Trump continues bc he NEVER faces consequences. Perpetual investigation is enabling. The GOP, & some senate dems are enablers. Anyone who didn’t criticize or punish his acts are enablers. Ignoring his hand in Jan 6 was enabling. Given presidential Immunity was enabling
I mean, it’s a start. Every act he does, is like monkeys throwing poop on a wall to see if it sticks, and yet it never does. I’m grateful for the judicial courts investigating, but we have long-passed the moment. It’s time for accountability and actual sentencing for his long-list of crimes.
Ok. But is he also investigating how so many Venezuelans were rounded up and by whom, how they were detained, supposedly processed and ready for the flights to El Salvador where Trump had a deal with Bukele who was ready for the deportees BEFORE the AEA was even signed?
Trump says he didn’t sign proclamation invoking Alien Enemies Act. “I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it,” Trump told reporters before leaving the White House on Friday evening.
Me thinks the judge needs to check this out too
We're going to see some more "Merrick Garlanding"
Endless delays of doing what is supposed to be done.
Fear of conflict.
Fear of power.
Cowardice and abdication.
Worship of "norms" that no longer apply or exist.
Yup.
Think about the kid gloves used when he WASN'T even president.
And even now some people pretending these "vaunted institutions" that have already deliberately failed over and over again during the trump era will suddenly start doing the right thing.
Now?
Absurd to assume that.
Think of all the years of cowardly behavior.
And that was when a Democrat was in the white house.
I can only imagine the bending over backward to help trump that we will see in the "enforcement division" now that Trump is in power and controls congress + scotus.
It's going to be a new olympic sport.
I'm beginning to wonder if they'll snap out of it once he declares that SCOTUS is "illegitimate". Probably not. Less than half of them have any integrity already.
Hmm. I know what your next question will be, but they have to take a chance on law enforcement. To answer your next question IDK. There at least needs to be a show of resistance. Can’t roll over so easily.
So, in order to be arrested, Congress has to impeach AND remove from office, officially convicting. Then, likely, the federal Marshalls or FBI could arrest. The chances of that is zip. The courts can put stops to his executive orders and hold him in civil contempt. But, unlike with civilians, he
He’s a FISA judge and knows what he’s doing. He’s being patient and methodical so that his ruling is appeal proof There are some jurisdictional issues that may make it problematic, Ben Wittes, founder of Lawfare is a great resource on this case.
Last time I had any hope in a judge it was Juan Merchan. Convicted of so many felonies by a full jury. Not 1 consequence. Threatening people and contempt of court, and not one consequence.
Immmm sounds like more "blah, blah, blah" let's keep asking Trump to do more of nothing till the sun burns out. Why do we give so much time for delay. Trump will die of old age at 100 before any judge will hold him accountable. The old rules cannot apply anymore.
I get it - but we need to keep ourselves in the fight right now - trust me, I have been screaming about what was coming for a legit decade now - and sadly I have been correct all along - but we need to find ways to keep our fighting spirits up no matter how bad it gets.
I mean, I don't think my uncle would have said "we're fucked" before taking off in his Hurricane to go shoot down Nazis. Same for the Ukrainians actually fighting the actual hot war front line as I type this. We're same team here - not gonna argue with you.
We don’t have time for probes! Bring them the hell back and send them back to their own countries. This is a show to intimidate the rest of us, at these men’s expense. Absolutely no legal right to incarcerate without due process!
Great! But have the people who were being flown to the slave camp been returned? He defied a court order, how about contempt. This slapping them on the hands isn’t working
Can you imagine if Biden or Obama ever acted like this? The dictator is breaking the law at every juncture. The DOJ is Trump's personal lawyer. Where TF is Congress?
Listening to Judge Boasberg’s dress down made my flipping week.
“I often tell my clerks before they go out into the world to practice law, the most valuable treasure they could get is their reputation and their credibility…”
Is his admin now distracting courts so he can do more harm as he's told by the people controlling him. And yes, I realize how conspiracy theory that sounds.
I really want to say even Marco Rubio isn't stupid enough to leave himself exposed like that, and would surely have done the appropriate ass covering, but then again, he's working for Trump it's entirely possible he is that dumb.
question is Marc... in real world one held in contempt and time in jail for that conduct. So will that happen to these cultists? it should... perhaps a start of jailing cult lawyers and referral for disbarment proceedings might just start a trend
If innocent humans with "no criminal history" are deported "lightening fast" to one of the most "inhumane" and notoriously torturous prisons or earth ,"without due process", shouldn't that be "crimes against humanity"?
Make the prisoner list public. Who came back? What were the crimes? Trump says he didn’t sign the Act so legally how’d they jet people to ES? Are we REALLY going to allow El Salvador to hold A Eric a prisoners? Isnt there a law against this? How many bites do these clowns get? They’re playing YOU
Investigate?
Slam somebody's head in a door and you'll have their undivided attention.
Fuck the rules with these people...twist their arms until you hear either answers or cartilage tearing!
The judiciary are going to have to do more than last time to make me think that anything will change. If they were faster to the ball, Trump would be in prison right now instead of the white house. Their delays are also enablement.
“I will get to the bottom of whether they violated my order, who ordered this and what the consequences will be,” District Judge James Boasberg said during a court hearing Friday."
Thank you for your work, Marc, and all who support you! I am gratified to hear that this Judge will be faithful to his mission. We are so far into the weeds that "once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, and three times is a pattern."
I hear you. FYI the actual issue of returning them is being handled through habeas corpus cases filed in Texas, from where they were deported. The case with Boasberg is mainly about keeping more from being deported, and a TRO is in effect. Also contempt. Slow and frustrating, for sure.
They can rule anything, or nothing. The problem is they have no enforcement mechanism. And no jurisdiction in El Salvador, which wants them money from the US Government for holding them.
They lied about everything. There is no mystery here. They lied about the planes. They rounded up some people they had in custody, who they thought looked like gang members, and sent them to a foreign prison for the rest of their lives.
ETA discovered alarming voter fraud in the Senate & Presidental race in PA during the 2024 election. Sign the petition to demand a hand recount of the paper ballots.
They can order marshals to enforce, it's just never been done against a presidential admin before, if I'm not mistaken. No one since Andrew Jackson has ever been this belligerent against the judiciary. It's like they're actively trying to jumpstart the revolution, then gun us down in the streets.
The opportunity to run for a third term*. They let him run as a felon, & felons aren’t even given the right to vote. It makes sense though… They pack jails with majority POC/ BIPOC, and that makes it easier for GOP to win, since they love privatizing prisons (which leads to worse conditions).
Is he actually going to do anything or just keep giving them another day to try and cover up their stated intentions? They’re all fucking BRAGGING about disobeying the orders for christs sake!
So who's going to pay for the lawsuits brought by the non-criminal deportees as well as all the unjustly illegally fired federal employees? We are! Just like every all his failed enterprises this one's going to result in endless litigation only this time he gets to use taxpayer money.
Who is going to ENFORCE this stuff?
Are those in charge of enforcement all trump supporters?
If so, would they even enforce this if ordered to?
Who exactly would do the ordering?
Are they also trump supporters?
The proof is in the pudding.
The DOING.
Rules are meaningless if they are not executed.
So I will wait and see what Trump is allowed to do, and what he is not allowed to do.
We can check back in in a year and see if the department of education exists, for example.
Trump claims he didn't sign the executive order. This should make it completely null and void. He is the only one with the authority to sign the f****** thing.
I caught that too - so why isn't whomever signed it, enforced it, and raced to ship them out of the country before anyone could stop them being charged? trump can PRETEND ignorance all he wants. Start removing and charging all of his lemmings, one by one. Hopefully replacements will reconsider.
Cool. But he has no way to do anything about it. It's not like 🍊's own justice department is going to go after him, even if they could, which apparently they can't for "official acts".
Anyone with an eyeball saw trump play this stall/delay tactic with the courts throughout the Biden admin.
He only got serious when jail time was staring him in the face.
I like how the judge is slow walking this. Taking his time to investigate whether his order was violated while simultaneously calling out trump’s bullshit by grilling doj lawyers. The judge is pretty much our mouthpiece for what we wish we could say to these idiots.
Now he’s saying he didn’t sign the order - if he didn’t sign it, that means no one has “official orders” to remove anyone - if he did sign it, he got caught lying yet again … so which is it??? No proclamation because he didn’t sign one, or did he really sign one and now is lying to cover up the fact
Hey Marc. Appreciate your continual knowledge sharing and resistance. With the justice department under the jurisdiction of the executive branch, what can the judiciary do to enforce any of its rulings?
Moved around a lot as a child so my groupings became more ‘good, stable, supportive’ or ‘evil, destructive, selfish’ and not race or culture, but if you didn’t move around and meet other groups in your youth, watch Barney Miller.
I'd throw in a stern looking at for good measure! If he keeps it up, try the old " You've let me down, you've let America down, but most of all--" That never fails.
I hope every federal judge in the nation realizes that Trump and his whole administration is corrupt, detestable and a danger to the country. And that the courts need to step up and assert their lawful authority over this chaos and madness. And hold Trump to account for his unconstitutional actions.
And then what? It seems likely that the Trump administration is ignoring multiple court orders. Has funding been restored as per court orders? If so, why are Fulbright scholars left hanging overseas?
Why does he keep extending the deadline for them to come forward with their proof that they didn’t defy his order? It makes me think that once again, he’ll escape without any consequences.
Of course they did. This is not going to help us, in light of Steve Bannon’s strategy of “flooding the zone “. I don’t think waiting for the next election is going to be good enough…

We’re fuc*ed.
“I often tell my clerks before they go out into the world to practice law, the most valuable treasure they could get is their reputation and their credibility…”
We're all getting probed
We will investigate, sounds familiar. Weren’t they Garlands last words?
FedSoc wants authoritarianism. Just maybe not the idiot Orange Julius Caesar variety.

Thank you!! We owe you!
(bowing and backing out)
People are being fucking TORTURED in El Salvador!
Can these judges please act with some humanity & expediency?!
BUT, Boasberg MUST pull the trigger on contempt & stop giving them chance after chance to keep defying orders & lying to the court.
We know the flight times.
They defied the oral order.
It might import the chicken as well.
The only thing America is good at is making weapons, from military grade to hand guns.
What are you good at these days?!?
IF?

I'm also fairly certain the Trump machine will find some way to destroy him. This must be infuriating the Oval Office occupant.

This will put a check to this autocrat.

Remove all traitors, enablers & co conspirators!
Seriously.
Did the planes get turned around?
No.
The court order was defied.
What the fuck are we doing here people?
I hope he understands that he is the thread that is holding democracy together in this moment.
Hope he knows how proud we are too.
DOJ isn’t paying any fines or enforcing a contempt violation.
Just curious.
