Yes! It’s about time for some tougher action from the bench.
>A federal judge in Minnesota held a Trump administration attorney in civil contempt for “flagrant disobedience of court orders” in the case of a noncitizen swept up in the immigration crackdown there earlier this year.
>The contempt finding by US District Judge Laura Provinzino on Wednesday appears to mark the first time a federal attorney has faced court-ordered sanctions during President Donald Trump’s second term.
>It comes as judges in the Twin Cities and elsewhere have grown increasingly impatient with the administration’s repeated violations of court orders, particularly in fast-moving immigration cases.

This is what they should have been doing from the start. And also arresting any federal leo breaking laws. The more they let it get out of hand, the more brazen the Trump dictatorship became.

Will this matter if the DOJ just pay the fine with tax payer money?

“it’s a resource issue! We don’t mean to trample immigrants’ civil rights, it’s just that we’re arresting, detaining, and deporting too many of them too fast! We can’t keep up with own processes and policies. If only there was some way to prevent this!!!”

The article says that this lawyer is a military officer that was brought in to assist. So who pays the daily fine? The officer or the department of defense (not war)? Seems like the pentagon could absorb that cost handily.

Female judge. How long before Le Grand Orange refers to her as “nasty” in one of his late night toilet tweets?

At last, a judge bold enough to use that tool.
What a shitshow
