Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

We now live in an authoritarian regime. This regime has implemented a national ethnic cleansing program. The rule of law is gone.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.​

Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

The decisions amount to a sweeping legal rebuke of Trump’s immigration crackdown. Yet the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely even after courts ruled the policy was illegal.

"It is appalling that the Government insists that this Court should redefine or completely disregard the current law as it is clearly written," U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston of West Virginia, an appointee of President George W. Bush, wrote last week, ordering the release of a Venezuelan detainee in the state.

Liberal courts tend to do stuff like that, and has to be repealed on the appeals.
It's the American way these days it seems.

the Marxist view immigration enforcement as a strong support for borders .. these same Marxist believe that borders protect the capitalistic [White] economic system in the US .. that's just one of the reasons they call black people like Larry Elder and Ben Carson the black faces of white supremacy .. the Marxist believe Whiteness can be attributed to anyone that believes capitalism is the best economic system ..

Correct.

And Trump and his Cult members couldn’t care less.

Trump Cult members fully support the illegal detention of immigrants, consistent with Trump’s contempt for the rule of law.

Trump’s immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate - not the law.

From the link (not a very objective one, btw);
...
In at least 4,421 cases, more than 400 federal judges ruled since the beginning of October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is holding people illegally as it carries out its mass-deportation campaign, Reuters found.
....
A relative handful of the total federal judges and of course those in lower courts can be challenged and over-ruled by higher courts.
...
A conservative appeals court in New Orleans last week gave the Trump administration a victory in its drive to lock up more immigrants. Just because prior administrations did not fully utilize the law to detain people “does not mean they lacked the authority to do more,” U.S. Circuit Judge Edith Jones wrote in a decision reversing rulings that led to the release of two Mexican men. Both remain free, their lawyer said.

Other appeals courts are set to take up the issue in the coming weeks.

Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson, said the increase in lawsuits came as "no surprise" - "especially after many activist judges have attempted to thwart President Trump from fulfilling the American people's mandate for mass deportations."
...

As we see elsewhere in our nation, the polarization of politics has factions on both sides contesting what is legal or not and who has the authority to decide such.

The battle has barely begun.
