Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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.

This is what failing to enforce their orders has wrought for the judicial branch. ICE will continue ignoring them until judges start ordering their bailiffs to take these scumbags straight to jail from the courtroom.

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.

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.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

They won’t.

Watch

Threatening it and not doing it is arguably worse than the crime itself. You are an accomplice until you do your fucking duty.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we have to start protesting these judges for not doing anything. Feet to the fire. They're on the right track, but nothing is still fucking nothing.

The fuck it will. Until you grow a god damn spine and actually issue contempt charges (and have them enforced), ICE is going to continue to wipe their asses with your 'orders' and the US Constitution.

ICE will comply with this court’s orders

"make me"

Spine.... Found

America has decided to live by the gun. Well, now is the time to act on it before the barrel gets pointed on you all.
