The federal judge identified 210 orders issued in 143 cases in Minnesota in which he said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials had not complied with court orders.
The chief federal judge in Minnesota accused federal officials of continuing to disobey judicial orders related to immigration enforcement and then mischaracterizing the scope of their missteps.
The judge, Patrick Schiltz, threatened to hold government officials in criminal contempt if the pattern continued, writing in a scathing order on Thursday that, “one way or another, ICE will comply with this court’s orders.”
“The court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders,” wrote Judge Schiltz, who was nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush.
There’s the problem. You’ve threatened again and again and again. Do it, cowards.
Even if they wanted to, they rely on Executive branch enforcement.
The US Marshalls need to be moved under the authority of the Judicial branch.
Force their hand. Either they enforce contempt charges or there’s a wide open constitutional crisis.
Let me break the news for you bud. We’re already facing a wide open constitutional crisis. The 1st amendment has been broken in hundreds of instances along with the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th. Alex Pretti was murdered for exercising his 2nd amendment. Ordering federal enforcement agencies into specific states/cities breaks the 10th. Trying to end birth right citizenship broke the 14th. He’s currently planning to break the 15th with a federal seizure of voting processes via a drafted executive order declaring a national state of emergency. The 19th is under attack by proof of identity voting laws that deny some women the right to vote based on mismatched identification between their birth certificate and state IDs with name changes from marriage. Its an open secret that he will push for a third term which would break the 20th and 22nd in addition to already attempting to break the 20th on Jan 6, 2020. And Voter ID laws constitute breaking the 24th.
So to summarize, that’s 9 that he’s already broken by my count and 4 he’s actively trying to break. That’s 13 of 27 and 7 of the original 10.
1 (broken) 2 (broken) 4 (broken) 5 (broken) 6 (broken) 8 (broken) 10 (broken) 14 (broken) 15 19 20 (broken) 22 24
Oh I know all that. I’ve been calling fascism for years and catching a lot of shit for it early on.
But federal courts charging contempt and DoJ not enforcing it is much harder to ignore. That’s why I modified it with “open”.
Don’t judges have jurisdiction over the bailiffs in their courts? Issue a warrant, order them to organize a posse and haul them in to face consequences aka jail time.
Yep. Deputize ME and let ME deal with this as The Law.
