We've all seen a lot of threads with posts about Trump and the Courts. Biden (even Obama) come up as a justification or an attempt to call hypocrisy on the part of people upset or outraged over Trump an the courts. I believe that what we need here is a reality check. I truly hope his thread can contribute.
Judges Grow Angry Over Trump Administration Violating Their Orders
quotes:
At least 35 times since August, federal judges have ordered the administration to explain why it should not be punished for violating their orders in immigration cases.
The judge was angry. She had ordered a detained immigrant to be released in Minnesota, but instead he was let go in El Paso, where he had to spend the night in a shelter. All his property was supposed to have been returned, but the government was still holding his identity papers.
“Why should I not hold you in contempt?” the judge asked a Justice Department lawyer at a hearing last week. Instead of answers, she got excuses.
“I don’t think there was ever any intention to defy the court orders,” said the lawyer, Matthew Isihara, a military judge advocate on temporary assignment to the Justice Department. “We were doing our best and things, unfortunately, slipped — slipped through the cracks.”
That explanation was not enough for Judge Laura M. Provinzino of the Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota. Last Wednesday, she found Mr. Isihara in civil contempt of court.
