  1. wait, what does this mean for the Wisconsin Judge who was charged with obstructing federal agents … if they were acting illegally?

    >Donald Trump’s administration has falsely stated for nearly a year that [Immigration and Customs Enforcement](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-arrest-san-francisco-tsa-b2945411.html) officers can arrest people inside immigration courts, where agents [standing outside courtroom doors](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/new-york-school-student-ice-arrest-b2941280.html) have swiftly cuffed thousands of immigrants immediately after they left their hearings.

    Falsely stated = lied

    >“Based on our discussions with ICE today, this regrettable error appears to have occurred because of agency attorney error,” Clayton [wrote](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.646893/gov.uscourts.nysd.646893.77.0.pdf).

    “Our bad!”

    And there will be no accountability.

  3. Translation: Tom Homan is gunning for Pam Bondi.

    Homan is trying to move the operation underground so that it doesn’t get press attention and smartphone videos that go viral.

    And he will want a few more necks to ax so that Trump can claim that everything is just fine in ICEland.

    Susie Wiles is presumably fine with this and is probably hoping to add Miller to the staffing kill list.

    “Mistakenly”….stephen miller straight up demanded they do it or get fired

    This reminds me of how children use the word “accident” when the predictable outcome arrives after constantly doing the thing they were asked not to.

  6. steveosaurus on

    sounds like then we should free everyone who was taken in an illegal manner, right? *right?*

  7. “Mistake?” you say? So someone is going to be fired and held accountable? or in the vernacular be thrown under the bus per se’?

  8. Pretty bold for the DOJ to claim ignorance of the law as an excuse. It seems more likely it was intentional and they always knew they could just say, “oops, our bad” once they finally got forced to stop.

  9. So what would that mean for Judge Dugan who was found guilty of felony obstruction for letting an immigration use a side door.

  10. RoswellRedux on

    I call b.s.

    They were given aggressive quotas and went for the low hanging fruit at the immigration courts.

  11. AcanthisittaNo6653 on

    I don’t see any accountability in an apology. Bondi needs a good spanking.

  12. NurglesGiftToWomen on

    Oh cool are they going to release everyone arrested in immigration courts then?

  13. Jolly_Grocery329 on

    It’s almost like the totally unqualified hacks with no training or experience don’t know what they’re doing.

  14. There are people there who need arresting. They’re wearing “ICE” patches and covering their faces.

  15. > ICE ~~mistakenly~~ purposefully told agents to attack and arrest people in immigration courts

  16. snakelygiggles on

    we have to ditch this stupid idea that an immeasurable quality, like intention, has any effect on whether or not a crime has been committed. if we measure intention, it should have to do with sentencing, not guilt.

  17. and what’s going to be done to remedy/compensate all those who have been “inconvenienced”?

    Wait one please….I’ll be right back.

    While it IS spring it still IS a bit chilly; but… I think I just heard a cricket! Yay me!

    And Trump mistakenly made billions of dollars exploiting the American people and constitution…

    What the fuck happened to journalists’ balls? Are they all fucking eunuchs now??????

    Mistakenly. THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO IT DURING HOUSE OVERSIGHT.

    WHAT THE SHIT IS WRONG WITH YOU, JOURNALISTS. YOU SUCK. YOU ARE MAKING THIS WORSE. IF YOU DONT DO **WHAT YOUR LITERAL FUNCTION IS IN SOCIETY** WHY DOES YOUR JOB EXIST?

    Ask yourself: in 10 years, is this an article I would tell my kids I wrote and be proud of it? Could you justify this article in front of your church, live? Could you put this article on your gravestone as “this is my proudest achievement!”

    If the answer is NO to any of these: the what the fuck are you doing.

  20. Listening_Heads on

    Uh-oh somebody must have figured out that their protection isn’t going to last very much longer. I’m seeing a ton of backpedaling from the Department of war and the Department of justice recently.

  21. They literally conspired with immigration judges and lawyers… they have proof of this. All of those fucks should be disbarred.

  22. Ornery-Ticket834 on

    Yes the same people who scream about immigrants following the law. This was a demonstration of what happens to those who followed the law.

  23. Artistic-Cannibalism on

    Oh look, the agency notorious for its constant lying and utter disregard for the law is lying about their disregard of a the law. But since they’ve admitted that it was a mistake they’ll surely take responsibility and free everyone they’ve admitted that they mistakenly arrested… right?
