Judge Provinzino ordered Ishiara to pay $500 a day until the identity documents were returned.

But the anger Judge Provinzino flashed at Isihara has been repeated in courtrooms across the country amid #Trump’s drive to deport large numbers of immigrants. A review of federal dockets found at least 35 instances since August in which federal district court or magistrate #judges issued an order requiring the government to explain why it should not be similarly punished for violating court orders….

At least 35 times since August, federal #judges have ordered the #Trump admin 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 #ElPaso, #Texas 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.

“So although the new rule is a net positive since it comes in service of the full Court’s adoption of conflict-check software, it’s not a major improvement, & it should not have taken 827 days post-Code to implement. That’s especially true since lower court #judges have been required to use software-based conflict screening for 20 years, & several justices have been rumored to continue to use it after they were elevated.”

According to this toothless document, the justices aren’t supposed to hear matters where they have direct financial stakes in the parties. Thus, this new #software package & a tweak to the filing rules to require parties include their stock ticker symbols.

To be clear, lower #court #judges have been using conflict-checking software since 2007. #SCOTUS first hinted that it might start using conflict-checking software in 2023. After that, the Court went silent….

“Palestine Action Victory Vindicates Direct Action & Breaking Genocidal & Immoral Laws”

“However we should not be complacent. The decision is extremely problematic. The arguments that the three judges – Dames Victoria Sharp & Karen Steyn & Jonathan Swift - the most reactionary, pro-Zionist and security minded of the High Court, based their decision on, are extremely feeble and in places obscure and contradictory”

The fascistic sadists are in charge; thankfully there're ethiical judges that administer the law:🚨"After Secretary Rubio declined a judge's suggestion to return illegally deported Any Lopez Belloza – a 20 year old Babson student who was sent to Honduras in defiance of a court order —⚡Judge Stearns has orderd the admin to facilitate her return."

Along with Sarcone, they include #AlinaHabba, who was the acting #USattorney in NJ, & #LindseyHalligan, formerly the acting US attorney for the Eastern District of VA, as well as a handful of others.

Reached by phone on Wednesday evening, Kinsella said that he did not yet know whether the White House email carried the force of #law. He said he would discuss the matter with the district #judges in the morning & go from there.

The #Trump admin had previously suggested it would fire any prosecutor chosen by district judges. It is unclear whether the Northern District judges will have any recourse.

Federal #judges in upstate #NewYork appointed a new #USattorney Wednesday only to see him abruptly fired by the White House, in the latest clash between the #Trump admin & the #judiciary.

Donald T. Kinsella, 79, was appointed as US attorney in the Northern District of New York in a private ceremony on Wednesday. But just hours later, Kinsella said, he received an email from a White House official telling him that he was being removed from the post.

You must know that I'm watching the Winter Olympics right? No not live because they blocked that to my whole continent. And using my VPNs is just too slow
Instead I wait until it has become a video and I just fetch that with powerful Open Source tools. The Olympics want us all to enjoy them
