This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
You have to have someone enforce the laws, and right now, there are no laws Trump won't break. The courts need to start locking up Trump peons.
They need to start locking up 🍊🤡💩 for defying court orders, contempt of court.
They're selling children to the s3x slave trade, LIKE DRUMPF HAS DONE FOR DECADES...Where are the 1,400+ "missing" migrant children from drumpfs last reign of terror?? We need to clean house immediately, my friends. Immediately!
Deporting unaccompanied minors on the word of another government, and requiring 5 days to substantiate… Dante would need an eleventh circle ⭕️ in hell to accommodate these officials who manifest a multitude of the sins against humanity.
You know how you fix that? Start throwing the lawyers who get cute in jail for contempt.
And their supervisors.
Judges only have jurisdiction over the attorneys of record, I believe. Noem was of record in one case, but otherwise they have kept their hands clean.
Bove is a cunt! Fuck him
Jails and Prisons are still functioning!
#ReleaseEpsteinTrumpFiles
These bastards tried to do it in the middle of the night on sunday night on labor day weekend.
Gosh what would make the judge think the government can't be trusted?
TV judges are always throwing lawyers in jail when their orders are not followed. Does that not happen in real life?
Seems like this Ensign guy is the perpetual man of the hour. Hope he carries a toothbrush and a change of underwear because I have to believe his luck is going to eventually run out.
The right won't think it counts in any form until some brigadier general trump loyalists are stripped of rank and pension, and imprisoned for contempt.
DEFYING A COURT ORDER NEEDS CONSEQUENCES! Get the lower level employees, or the middle managers, someone has to be held accountable! The regime can't function without sycophants, so start locking them up first!
At this rate, I expect the DOJ filings to have a dragon watermark. But with swastikas.
I just read your substack on this! (Trying to spend less time doomscrolling, so your email updates help a ton!) I try is impossible to fathom that we are at this place in time!
The Judge should hold the DOJ lawyer, in custody, until the law is obeyed. That’ll end it.
and when are the judges going to start holding people in contempt of court?
Exactly👆🏼👀🧐😳🤮👀
I’m looking forward to one or more federal judges verbally ordering their bailiffs/marshals to take some of these POS DOJ “attorneys” into custody for contempt until further notice. 👍👩⚖️ Needs to happen. Yesterday.
Verbal orders from the judges don't count, unless they say Simon says. Also did someone have their fingers crossed behind their back at the time, cuz that's a thing, too.
Sending orphans to fend for themselves. Disgraceful hope they sue everyone in the gov.
Wondering when defying court orders will have consequences.
I’ve been wondering this for quite some time now.
probably, good point
This is a big part of the story. In no small part because SCOTUS have accepted fictional cases with invented facts.
EXACTLY…….DOJ is now an untrustworthy agency…..
Just keep Noem in jail to insure compliance
THE LAW NEEDS TO USE ITS TEETH AGAINST THIS ADMINISTRATION!!
They're moving children in front of your eyes. How long are we going to pretend these children are safe from being trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation? The president of the United States is a fucking KNOWN CHILD RAPIST. 🙄
It's because the Judges are dealing with cruel and evil racists They totally understand the instructions, and they choose to ignore them. Who besides Hitler would knowingly throw 600 children into an abyss? Kristi Noem.
Thank God for these amazing lawyers
It's objectively obtuse, obviously designed to outrage, and obfuscate They are operating outside the law, not sure if there's a word for that...
The government's credibility should absolutely be at issue. The pattern the government has demonstrated over the past 8 months has been one of deception and contempt. There should be no deference afforded them.
I think it is fair to say… “the current US government cannot be trusted to FOLLOW clear instructions!” STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO FORCE THEIR COMPLIANCE AND TRACK ADHERENCE WITH A JUDGE’S RULINGS!
When is someone going to spend a night in jail?
I doubt we’ll ever get to the jail part of contempt.
That just infuriates me. Why would they ever comply if there’s no penalty with teeth? The rest of us have lived our lives trying to the right thing, even if it was inconvenient.
And they're both right. Good thing they noticed. Or those kids would be in Guatemala now.
Why the hell is this clown car Administration allowed to break laws or disregard Court orders? Hold someone, anyone at DOJ in contempt of court and incarcerate them!
Behold the loss of the "presumption of regularity"
The Marshall service carries out the arrest orders for the court, time to put people in the #Trump administration in jail for defying court orders. Which judge is going to get pissed off enough and do it? If a normal citizen did what they are doing, would be done long ago.
Good. Cause you know they have a team looking for loopholes anywhere and of any kind.
Military wing of the judicial now required?
What’s the point of having this guy Ensign representing the feds when it’s clear attorneys at DHS are giving him the barest instructions? It’s a deliberate strategy of obfuscation. Judge should call out the legal eagles at DHS to explain themselves, directly to the court.
What can be done about it? Why aren’t officials being reprimanded or arrested?
Treat them like toddlers.
Any proof they actually followed this, and those planes didn't take off?
👑Kamala won👑 ❌Cheato cheated❌ 🚫He rigged the 2024 election🚫 Just like the RIG in TEXAS BECAUSE HE'S IN THE FILES EPSTEIN! RIGGING! NEW ELECTIONS NOW! ❌ END CITIZENS UNITED ✅ MAKE VOTING DAY A PAID HOLIDAY 🚩NEW ELECTIONS NOW! 🚩NEW ELECTIONS NOW! AMERICA WILL BE BACK. TERMINATE THE TERM!
There is no -- *no* -- provision in the US for a do-over on elections, either in the Constitution or any state constitutions. This isn't a Parliamentary system like the UK or France. Those of us who adhere to the Constitution need to look for Constitutional remedies, not wishcasting.
Hmmm. But verbal orders from trump do? Hmmm.
So when do they show they mean business by actually holding them in contempt? Why can’t they do anything to hold them accountable? Then what’s the point of laws if nothing happens?
Who is going to enforce contempt citations for judges? The DOJ and FBI are thoroughly corrupted, and if there are still good people in either institution, they are keeping a low profile.
Hire Luigi!
Then they are complicit & contemptible. I tell them so to their faces, BTW. Then I tell them to pick a side to fight & get back to me, before I walk away. If it comes out later they *had* to do what they did for the good of us all, we can hash it out then. Just part of doing gov business these days.
Don’t say FACILITATE!
That's why Judge Xinis keeps asking: Will a verbal order suffice or should I put it in writing? This is the US DOJ & they keep acting like a bunch of ignorant clowns in a sea of ignorant clowns!
put it in writing
That would always be my preference, as well! There might've been a bit of sarcasm in her question. The gov doesn't get to ignore or disobey a judges orders just because they're not in writing.
These Judges might consider the Ideology of "Tough Love ".

MAGA has achieved one thing: Making us all distrust the government.
Calling the government dishonest
consequences have no bite... So there really is no benefit to following a judges orders. This is a justice system that punishes corporations thousands for scamming millions.
No more presumption of regularity. Trumpers have no integrity, no credibility and no principles. Republicans are the scum of the earth.
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT TRAFFICKING CHILDREN TO WHO MORE PEDOPHILES? These are peoples children! Of course the Jeffrey epstein administration of sexual deviants is treating children like they're toys to be used in their psycho games, Christian my ass, they demonic!
These rulings should come with punishments defined as part of the ruling. If you ignore me, here are the consequences: jail time for Kristi Noem.
A country governed by laws my ass, when the judges finally start seeing it and saying it out loud it’s gone waaaaaay too far into lawlessness.
Think about it America 🇺🇸🙄🙋🏻
💯
Too long to quote, but look up the description of Miss Susan attempting to make clear to Jason that he is not allowed in the stationery cupboard. It is in Terry Pratchett's "Thief of Time"
More emphasis on how 'LAWLESS and UNAMERICAN' the trump administration has become since SCOTUS told trump that he could get away with anything he wants as long as he starts it in the Oval Office!
The criminals in the clown house don't care
You know we're in the upside down when judges are forced to nag the DOJ to do as told. Like they're toddlers or something.
It's so cute that they pretend the wording matters lololol, people acting in bad faith will find a way to do what they want to do
Children! For Christ sake! WTH US. The US Gov is trafficking children in plain sight and no one is going to pay for this? How is this happening?
What a despicable act by a cowardly regime. Child trafficking in the middle of the night.
They've gotten at least one plane turned around.
And the guy that gave that order got appointed and confirmed to a lifetime appointment to be a judge. Not only did they willfully and intentionally defy the judge, they rewarded the guy who did it with the cushiest of jobs.
TFG needs a tight leash.
It’s nearly 6 PM ET. Judge asked for status update at 4 PM ET. Looks like, yup, govt can’t be trusted. Now, what? What possible tools can the judge bring to bear?
The government doesn’t care what judges of the lower courts rule because the doj knows the extreme court will overrule them. We are truly screwed.
Basically crafting her ruling as though the administration lawyers were 8 years old. Which is appropriate
Very much so.
Cruelty.
Considering that “verbal” encompasses both written and oral communication, is the executive branch saying that nothing communicated in words from the legislative branch counts?
Looks like the Federal judges are learning from each other's experience, which is a very good sign. Judges don't like lawyers playing games with court orders, and that's pretty much the #1 strategy of this regime.
I mean, she might want to project her document on the screen and make them wait while she finishes. I might would try that.
