Anyone who thought this wouldn't happened is delusional & so complacent. They don't want to do the resistance work. They don't want to be uncomfortable. Guess what, they'll wish they'd done the uncomfortable work very soon.
Hold them in contempt. Start with Rubio. He needs to be sitting in jail. America cannot do a repeat of Merrick Garlands tenure. If they break the law, they need to be held accountable… NOW. Not 4 years from now or never. The laws are worthless if no one is held accountable for breaking them.
Its time to issue the order but before the order is given to the US Marshals a backup service must be in effect. Cuz if when the US Marshals disobey the orders of the Court the backup organization of law enforcement will enforce it and they will arrest the Secretary of State and hold him accountable
Where are the headlines that he defied the order and did NOT turn the planes around??? Where are the planes and where are the people illegally transported??? Why are these questions not the lead stories???
I feel for the judge in so many ways (was on the calls yesterday) - guy was supposed to be on vacation, & now is the tip of the enforcement spear & at the nexus of whether or not this democracy stands or falls.
Helluva weekend!
So civil contempt charges prevents pardoning criminal contempt if I read the post from @democracydocket.com correctly. Not a lawyer. Just wondering if the pilot can be charged. Stop the pipeline if nobody will risk taking off with future slave labor to El Salvador on behalf of the corrupt Trump 🤡
The Republican Party and Trump had to lie full time to American citizens to win. They lied all through the Trump campaign. They lie in every interview. They are not in an honest relationship with American citizens. This is not a valid "win". Their power is based on defrauding American citizens.
MAGA followers think this is all part of the plan. In fact... they're pissed that libs didn't have the same outrage when Biden threw us into a recession. 🙄
You claim to be social justice warrior, yet you ignore the criminal #USA attacks on other countries , most recently #yemen and killing dozens of innocent women and children
The "dare you to enforce episode" of Nightmare at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave S2 reality TV shit-show. They don't care, trump wants unrest in order to get martial law imposed. It's obvious! "America, you in danger girl!"
This guy has basically resigned his adulthood. Seeing him whining, hyperventilating, and squeaking trying to justify his behavior is a national embarrassment. The Secretary of State. Next time get somebody older than 14.
If the marshalls won't do it then there are regular cops that will. The judge can deputize them amd have them do it. And then they can arrest the marshalls too for refusing to follow the judges orders.
Yes, I know. There are always options but for now, I will only believe it when I see it that somebody is actually willing to go all the way against the Orange Felon.
No way any law enforcement agency takes action against the administration. Most fall under the DOJ and does anyone think your average marshal is going to try and arrest an official for exporting gang members
"Agreemebt was reached in 1963 at Tokyo of the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, obliging the contracting states to extend their criminal law and jurisdiction to aircraft of their registry when they are outside national territory."
Exactly. And if the SCOTUS supports the lower court decision, Trump will just turn on them, and say “ you gave me immunity”. They cut a highway through the law and the devil has now turned on them.
Suspect they will say “you have immunity those around you don’t”. So then he will just promise those around him a pardon if they get convicted. If it even gets that far.
Enough of this foolishness. I want to know when somebody in this criminal administration is going to be locked up. I doubt I get to ignore court orders without serious consequences.
For all you Schumer apologists bleating that the courts will stop trump, here is your evidence that he doesn't intend to obey the courts. And all the enforcers are now on his side. 🙄
The enforcers may or may not be on his side, but they report up to him through the DOJ. There is only one way out of this mess. It is the one thing a peaceful populace will not do. Or will they?
I have a feeling we're rapidly reaching the point where people will be called to stand up for this country or lose it forever. Everyone has that line and maga has crossed it over and over. When it affects them or someone they love, all bets are off. I'm betting on Americans.
I wanna know what the courts can do about it and they did it on purpose. They’re going to continue to defy the court orders because they think they’re above the court. This is gonna be a bumpy ride.
Either the pilot or someone in the chain of command needs to go to prison—even if Trump decides to pardon them later. They want to have a firehose of bad actions? Then make Trump use a firehose of pardons. Then everyone will see just how lawless he is being.
Do these gangs normally have hundreds or thousands of members in other countries? I didn't even realize that. I don't believe this administration either way though.
What are the consequences as of today of them defiling the federal judges order? Can they be arrested? Will they be prosecuted? They’ve been breaking every law they can and are getting away with it right in front of our eyes.
They knew what the judge had instructed them to do. They took it upon themselves to find a rationale to ignore the court's order.
They could have asked for clarification. They could have gone to the appellate court. But, no, none of that, they just overruled the district court on their own.
Just a thought for Christian Nationalists... If by the slimmest of chances you reach heaven and see souls from minorities, what will you tell GOD? Would GOD need to become a Christian Nationalist or be voted and change heaven with Executive Orders?
congrees had better makes these trash bags pay out of their own pocket to go get them and bring em back. The judge should be signing the felons arrest warrant as I am typing this, if not, law and order dies again.
Are you imagining that during a "government shutdown" Trump/Miller/Rubio would *stop* rounding up and illegally deporting people? And that they'd allow the courts to remain open to filings trying to stop them?
It's just possible that Chuck Schumer understands how stuff works better than we do.
He does, actually. F47 & Muskrat wanted the government shutdown like Schumer said. Now why would they want that, eh? 🤔
But they are still continuing their mass destruction and disregarding court orders anyway.
It's FUBAR, and a Catch 22 all rolled into one. Everyone is frustrated and angry. 🥹
What to do? Trump is pres., Vance is veep. No good trying to impeach DT.
The best thing is to call for Congressional investigations of Rubio/State and Noem/Homeland, for these grossly unconstitutional actions. Flouting the courts, or allowing your agency to do so, is impeachable.
I realize people don't want to hear this but we ARE in a civil war already. The GOP is not a legitimate political party and has zero intent of being one. It is a 5th column of religious fanatics who hollowed out the Republican party and wear it's corpse like the bug wore Edgar in Men in Black.
Lol. This “they are not the real GOP” mentality is exactly what led you where you are.
It clearly shows you still dont understand the structural causes of Trumpism.
Yes, you are already quite likely in the beginning stages of a civil war, but the rest of your comment is utter nonsense
We are in a dictatorship NOW. People need to realize this fact. Everybody is hoping things will change at election time but there will be no real elections anymore🤬🤬🥵
But unfortunately the Judiciary has no enforcement arm. They rely on federal marshals which are under the Executive Branch, same as the GSA which maintains and owns the buildings they work in. So unless the marshals are allowed to enforce, it all breaks down since Congress is complicit.
Does anyone else suspect that Trump set up Marco to take a fall? Marco gave up a seat in the Senate in exchange for his soul. I think Trump would love to humiliate him for the remark about Trump’s hands in 2016. Jail would be a fitting payback. A sociopath never forgets.
So the American people can follow suit then and we too can just disregard the laws. At least this is what the GOP and the justice department is telling me I can do now.
I said the exact same thing after that bullshit immunity crap... You just gave your power away to a dictator wannabe... FYI... you don't need a Supreme Court when you have a Supreme Leader. 🗑️🔥🎪🤡🙄🖕🏻
I don’t there’s anyone in 47’s world that isn’t terrible.
Good people have a nose for evil and wouldn’t want anything to do with these disastrous people
This entire admin better HOPE they go to jail. Ppl are pissed & when they completely cease SSI payments & start yanking Medicare/Medicaid from their largest voting block, there will be tens of millions who have nothing to lose.

Helluva weekend!
SCOTUS gave Trump a free pass and he will see where the line is drawn.
My money says there isn't a line.

A lot of people are literally terrified of Trump,also..
Think about that.
Human rights violations.

US Marshals is the law enforcemen agency of the federal judiciary. Judiciary Act of 1789. There are 94 US Marshals.
USMS was created in 1969 under the DOJ to provide assistance to the courts and the 94 US Marshals.
Have some smoke for all the Democrats in the Senate who voted for Rubio and that's all of them.
Another major issue is whether sending young men "accused of being gang members" to the jail system in another country is legal. "Accused"?

Did not the military take an oath to the Constitution first?
Going forward judges are going to have to be very specific with what they write
They could have asked for clarification. They could have gone to the appellate court. But, no, none of that, they just overruled the district court on their own.
I wasn’t trying to imply that they were right for ignoring the order, just posting what I had read about the situation
That the defendants chose not to comply with the judge's order is. They could have brought the planes back.
My guess is that he won’t comply.
Thanks for the post.
Manifest of who and why they were on the flight.

What chucky does not understand, is that
NOTHING IS WORKING
Including him!
Nothing “normal “ is going to stop the oligarch’s fascist takeover !
Democrats need to shut it down
We the People declare war
But they are still continuing their mass destruction and disregarding court orders anyway.

How can they ignore the orders of a federal judge ?
The best thing is to call for Congressional investigations of Rubio/State and Noem/Homeland, for these grossly unconstitutional actions. Flouting the courts, or allowing your agency to do so, is impeachable.
Rubio was confirmed 99/0
GIVE ME SUGAR
IN WATER

This is who they always were.
:(
Can you finally call to arms and behead any spineless clown in the White circus to get your country back please?
He’s doing better than JD Vance
Or did having brown skin qualify them as gang members?
NEVER FORGET!
They ignore the judicial branch.
Good people have a nose for evil and wouldn’t want anything to do with these disastrous people
Maybe some of our friends from down south can tell us if we’re past the point of no return.
🤒
Here's some useful information on the options this judge and other judges have have, if U. S. Marshals also go rogue.
