President Donald Trump’s administration’s response to a judicial request for more details on timing of deportation flights carrying hundreds of Venezuelan migrants was “woefully insufficient,” a judge said on Thursday, accusing officials of evading their responsibilities under an order he issued.
Washington-based U.S. District Judge James Boasberg is weighing whether administration officials violated his March 15 order intended to temporarily block the expulsions. In a new order on Thursday, the judge told Justice Department officials to explain by next Tuesday why the administration’s failure to bring the deported migrants back to the United States did not violate his order.
Boasberg’s order on Thursday escalates his dispute with the administration that has raised concerns among Trump critics and some legal experts about a potentially looming constitutional crisis if the administration defies judicial decisions.
We are getting close to the tipping point people…
we got even closer
Judges “handling” trump in a nutshell. Just like parents who don’t follow through with “I’m gonna count to 3! 1…2…2 and a half…” etc. If you don’t follow through with disciplining misbehaving children, the children don’t learn anything.
Can we just get it over with, please?
This whole year so far has been like watching a trainwreck. From the quiet-car. Like oh there’s this cool disaster going on up ahead…it’s definitely going to hurt everyone around me directly, but damn if it isn’t mesmerizing in the meantime. And meanwhile the guy on my left is taking a nap and the girl on the right is reading a true crime novel about horny vampires (the author may have taken some creative liberties).
