Sure he can. He cancels all elections effective January 1, 2028 citing National security concerns. Goes to SCOTUS who vote 9-0 he can’t do that. He says “f you guys” and instructs military to impose martial law. He has king like authority thanks to SCOTUS so nobody can do a damn thing.
It was illegal for him to steal documents, it was illegal for him to violate election laws, he is illegally deporting americans, it was illegal to create a department whose focus is to steal data, it was illegal for him to commit rape…people like you in denial are the reason we are here.
"Tomorrow" has been the deadline all week now. Faith in this judge gone. I've heard 'slow-walking' for four years now, it was the reason litigation never got anywhere.
But 100s of possibly innocent ppl are sitting in a notoriously dangerous foreign prison. I’m sorry but this does not make me feel better. March 25th is waaaay to generous
Come on guys. You don’t want the bad guys to have the ability to skip basics like due process. The people who were grabbed & harmed will have big civil lawsuits.
If they went there illegally they have to bring them back. If I did that kind of law I be waiting & standing on the dock so that we could start the lawsuit paperwork.
Will he obey?
They've blown off 2-3 court appearances with no information
The young guy i posted story about seems lost in the system... El Salvador says he left there, then well maybe here, we don't know but won't take him to a hearing..
Worse yet, he's gay.. Could be a very baddd situation for him
Like they had to turn the planes around? But didn’t. Like they have had to provide the court with critical information about the flights etc?? But haven’t?
If I ignored a court order, my sorry ass would be in jail before I even finished my morning cup of coffee. Trump doesn't deserve any special treatment!
Deplorable. Yet, Trump is at a 90%+ approval rating among Republicans (which is 100% of the population from his perspective). He can't be jailed, and he doesn't care about anyone else - so this won't stop.
Seriously, can we talk about secession and reorganization before the violence starts?
There have been people who had no criminal record deported to this hellhole in El Salvador. If they find out who these people are, what happens to them? Are they condemned to be tortured indefinitely? One was a 14 yr old.
It depends on what the Judge decides the penalty is—could be fines, imprisonment, some other sanction. Difficult to say more without knowing that. Could be largely symbolic, it could be appealed, or pardoned. But it could still be significant in escalating the judiciary’s response to defiance
I'm not sure why Congress allows the president to continue to declare that we are at "war". Article 2 does not give that power to the executive. Congress needs to declare war or else it's not war.
I feel like it’s pretty clear the republican members of Congress are not going to do anything to oppose their “great” leader. They haven’t done a damn thing about any of the EOs or anything else he’s done to this point. Don’t hold your breath for them to grow a spine now.
I feel strongly that details like this particular Court movement, as well as the reality of coming recession and worse, are being obscured to prevent panic. I have a history in finance and US history, and when I hear Dimon and others like him not issuing direct warnings but implying some things,
I can tell Dimon et al want to pick at the carcass as long as possible to get what they can good from the Trump economic disaster BEFORE the witless masses FINALLY comprehend then panic + react inappropriately & worsen conditions. Court = panic concerns.
We're in the bar just hours before last call.
A reaction that worsens conditions would actually be acting appropriately. Nobody should be investing in the stock market right now. Anyone in their right mind has sold. There isn't one reason to be optimistic about prices of ANYTHING coming down anytime soon.
You have given the worst possible advice for people trying to save and not be a burden on our government safety nets. Further, while the indexes have declined some--NASDAQ down around 5k points from 20 Jan 25--this is not a massive sell off, and only one day of selling = correction territory. Panics
hurt small investors. I have very old kin who are not just on SS but they also draw off investments. They now have less to draw from and no long window for recovery.
Over 60% of US adults invest. To wish a massive correction brought on by panic because "everyone should get out" could be deadly.
Meanwhile these innocent men rot in a slave labor camp without even being named. We live in a dictatorship where plain clothes brown shirts can disappear people. It must be stopped.

At least Judge Boasberg took it a step further than anyone else has, and he is taking the proper steps at the proper time. He isn’t going rogue, he is following the law. You gotta give him props for that. Trump/Musk should have done the same, follow the law, it would be easier.
I can’t imagine being innocent, shipped to a foreign country, head shaved! & institutionalized in what looks like a concentration camp.
He’s just EVIL😏😡😏😡
Judge Boasberg is not slow-walking this case. Rather he is being thorough, moving slower than the breakneck-speed of the trump show to "get it right"...
I really appreciate what he's doing, but I've heard this story before. Hypothetically, what is keeping the traitor trump from having him physically removed from his chambers and thrown into a dungeon?
The rule of law. I suppose trump could just break all US History, send the military to remove the judge, and throw away the key, but the nation isn't quite there yet...
Trump would be in violation of The Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the powers of the federal government in the use of the American military against the people, including the judiciary. Esp as John Roberts squashed Trump’s attempted impeachment of the judge. It becomes too obvious.
we need to get these people all the adderall and coffee they need to zoom through all these necessary steps somehow 😭 (I know it probably doesn't really work like that but STILL. oh wait no that could kill them. ugh. add in a beta blocker to level things out? 😬 SOME STRONG FESTIVE TEA ON TAP??)
The DOJ will file that late as well. Then, when they do file, they’ll invoke the State Secrets privilege and that’ll take even longer to sort through. In the meantime, there are 100’s of Venezuelan’s in a prison in El Salvador that should not be there.
The ultimate reality show.
He wants to go down ...like a lunatic with a AR15...
BLAZING GUNS OF chaos and destruction.
He has no life.
No freedom.
His family hates him.
He hates himself.
Even golf ⛳️ hates him.
So he is projecting the insane hate and rejection the world 🌎 has for him.
He dies alone.
Meanwhile 🤨 many innocent people remain in prison in a foreign country. I appreciate the due diligence. I do, but this entire situation is so fucked up.
What happens when they are found in contempt?This has never happened before,so we have no history to help guide our next steps.Is DT going to be fined?Jailed?Are the people who told the pilots to keep flying going to jail?Are presidential privileges going to be suspended? Or will Nothing happen?
I'll bet if I defied a judges order in the same manner as these people have, there would be much fewer steps and much less time. I'll bet it would sound a lot like, "Bailiff, take this man into custody."
Because Judge Haller held Vincent Gambini in contempt just for wearing an outmoded suit, even though by doing so Gambini was trying to comply with and earlier order not to wear leather. 🧐
“Judge Boasberg also issued a “show cause” order, which is one of the final steps in the process necessary to hold someone in contempt of court.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Excellent and easy read about what is happening with Judge Boasberg and the Venezuelan deportees. Thx @muellershewrote.bsky.social✌🏾
The deported men and teenager’s should be returned to this country immediately , safely. Where is the money coming from to pay El Salvador monthly, 5 million $?
Just one more thing that the fascist regime will have the opportunity to defy while no one does any enforcement to make sure that a judge’s rulings are followed. This is no longer a democracy by any stretch of the imagination.
Hero for slow walking what would have been lightning fast for regular folks because he’s afraid MAGA is going to send him pizzas and shoot his mailbox.
Boasberg will give up or stretch it out months until he gives up. Guaranteed.
What would happen if Tump just sent the judge to El Salvador to work in that camp? No trial etc? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Even if Trump found himself in contempt, the US markets would not arrest the Dictator because they serve the executive branch. Face it, guys, we live in a dictatorship now.
Our member is a Black trans woman, an advocate, a friend, and a proud blue voter. Currently incarcerated due to her gender identity. She is experiencing sexual assault in the men's section of the jail. And everyone seems to only care about Elon and musk
Doesn't have to be that long. Judge should immediately have issued show cause after it became apparent that order wasn't followed. All litigation thereafter should have been conducted w/n context of that order. And for God's sake, just schedule an evidentiary hearing on this.
I'm thinking they'll arrest the underlings who had a hand in it? I don't see Trump getting arrested. In the meantime I hear nothing about trying to get these people back from El Salvador. 😞
He is definitely the Teflon Don. The innocent people arrested because of a benign tattoo, is really scary. And people wonder why no one wants to go to the U.S. right now while the orange Teflon Don has unchecked power.
I don't care one whit if every one of the people deported to an El Salvador prison were gang members. Every single one of them deserves due process under the law. Once we start making exceptions for people whose actions we find unacceptable, it is a very short step to denying due process to all.
Come to think of it, both of them are both predators and Alien. Trump is an Alien because most people don’t act like him. Thank God. Trump can be very alienating. And Trump makes people feel alienated. 😆
These poor people. Leaving the horrible situation in Venezuela, trekking for miles through Central America only to be put in a cage and shipped to the worst prison you could imagine in El Salvador. Thanks Trump. Bravo America.
The deported folks can die in that prison. Within days. From E. coli in the food to violence by guards and other prisoners. Can that be taken into account to speed things up?
That was so nice to read. It treated me like I was intelligent and knew more than monosyllabic words, yet it didn't drive in incessantly about tangential topics. To the point and very informative. More stories should be like this.
Due process is only being followed when the trump administration is trying to do something Illegal or Unconstitutional, when anyone else is being railroaded, trump's stooges get to do whatever they want without having to obey the rules ...
seems a little bit unfair and not impartial in justice!
Judge Boasberg soon send in the Sheriff's men to maintain law and order consistent with the American Constitution.
Hope they are carrying writs, cameras, and........bazookas
The judiciary is one of two legs, it cannot be the sole defender of the constitution. If congress lets the executive branch overreach there is nothing to stop them. The people need to act and vote, today! Stop spending and stop consuming to the extreme. It can't be stopped and can't be ignored.
The famous paper game that lawyers play. This is not
a divorce. You are not destroying 3 lives, you are destroying thousands of families. There is a difference!
@SCOTUS We need SCOTUS on Blue. Can't do anything without it.
It's all performative theater from the Trump Regime. They will not follow orders and they are just slow walking the inevitable; that they will not be held to account. We aren't moving towards authoritarianism. We are already there. Many just don't want to openly acknowledge it.
💯 it’s very plain to see from outside 🇺🇸 borders. It’s a full fledged five alarm fire and fascism is already happening! It’s not about to happen… it is happening at an alarming rate. Nothing should be slow walked. This regime sure isn’t slow walking!!! Code Red 🇺🇸!!!
To what end though? He’s not going to incarcerate anyone and money sanctions are laughable to these guys. You gotta back it up when you throw the gauntlet down.
Whose the process server? How do you get past the gates to deliver it?
I love it when a judge issues an Order to Show Cause.
Almost got shot delivering one of these.
I think a lot of people want this Trump BS to be refuted immediately and slammed as hard as they can. That's not how the law works. You follow the procedures you follow the rules you follow the guidelines you make the statements you request the information. Then you rule. We need the law to save us.
More seriously, that’s direct contempt, where someone says or does something wildly out of line in front of the court. Failing to comply with an order doesn’t happen in the judge’s own sight, so they have to let the contemnor “show cause” of why it’s not contempt.
They have to write a filing & appear, so it would probably depend on the docket & when the judge can schedule their appearance. I think he gave them until Tuesday, then the plaintiffs get a few days to respond.
This is actually moving fast. There are like 130 cases against this administration right now. They’re going to run out of lawyers. A “show cause” order takes a couple of them out of action for a week, & if they eff it up, it could lead to disciplinary action that removes them permanently.
There are far too many ways to drag things out. It's so rare that anyone with lots of money or a role in government is ever held accountable for anything.
Sadly I believe that of the SIX Justices appointed by Republicans, only those two actually support the Constitution in a foundational way. The other four (Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas) are definitely monarchy-curious.
By the time we get done playing footsie rhetoric back and forth the damage will have been done. When will the lesson be learned? Have we forgotten WW2? They will not stop until we kill them.
Among the deported men with no apparent criminal record was Jerce Reyes Barrios, a 35-year-old Venezuelan and former professional soccer player who had sought asylum in the U.S. after he was electrocuted and suffocated following a protest against the repressive actions of Venezuelan President.
Reyes Barrios’ lawyer asserted in a court filing that border officials had incorrectly determined he was a member of a gang by misreading his tattoo and a hand symbol in a photo.

There’s no practical mechanism to enforce contempt when the Marshalls are all MAGA.
Think of it as a finger wagging of the highest order.

This has to be done right, and it has to stick.
That said, once you do get to the point of jail and sanctions for those executing illegal orders, the Trump side of the process will grind to a halt.

Boasberg shrivels every day. Garland 2.0.
US jurists are like men’s genitals in cold water.
However, the DOJ is losing credibility if needed from them in any future cases.
Now in a timeline marked in centuries, how long until judge makes a decision and from there when will justice be served?

This is the process. There isn't a different process that courts can follow. This is it.
