Last night, ICE got an immigration judge to issue an order of removal for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Judge Xinis issues TRO

[In It to Win It]

Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.

Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

The immigration “judge” allegedly sua sponte — meaning without any request by a party, which is obviously a lie given the circumstances — “corrected” the 2019 order to fix a “scrivener’s error” and order Mr Abrego Garcia deported.

Not surprisingly, Judge Xinis blocked that. What a corrupt act.

Yes, it’s one they handpicked, and IIRC is actually a judge in management who only hears a small number of cases. It’s so flagrantly corrupt and a perversion of due process you almost have to laugh; then go off and file a bar complaint against the judge for violating ethics rules.

1. This is because Noem got her bitch ass beaten yesterday in committee.

'Vindictive' is to soft a word for this particular prosecution.

I predict Judge Xinis is about to GO OFF.

oh and that contempt hearing for Noem?
Good luck, Kristi hahahaha..

5. This whole administration refuses to take "NO". They are truly trying to break the judicial, seeing how

they broke the legislature. Look at the deputy AG's that the courts have thrown out but they refuse to leave. Everything they do is just a big FU to every institution and every citizen.

6. They think it will last FOREVER, theyre wrong.

Go youtube Rick Wilson's Elephant in the Room for this week. Perfect description for what's about to happen to them.

2. Time this country stopped voters from electing Judges

and politicians from appointing them. Could we have the American Bar Assn. recommend
middle of the road Judges?

7. Absolutely agree, while judges in Canada are approved by admin, they are chosen and recommended by

a non-partisan legal org based on abilities. I am so glad we don't elect judges. Did you hear, we had another Conservative MP cross the aisle to join the liberals. One more and Carney will have a majority. Fingers crossed!

8. Interesting. Good luck! 🤞☘️❤️

3. Wow, just wow.

On a side note, I got to find out what a Scriveners error is. Lol. Hi Scrivener7

4. Oops

I read magistrate judge who wouldn't have the authority to overrule a federal judge.

10. Noem and her ilk used judge shopping

11. I was a bit surprised that there wasn't some sort of TRO in the judge's

release order. Have no idea if that was even possible, but surely they could hace foreseen what the thugs would do.

13. She wasn't going to issue a TRO before someone asked for one

They didn't request one until this morning.

[niyad]

14. That was incredibly short-sighted on someone's part.

[In It to Win It]

15. I disagree. I don't think they had cause to request one until ICE got an order of removal from an immigration judge

The cause to request one didn't come until last night.

[niyad]

16. We disagree then. And look what happened.

[In It to Win It]

17. Judge Xinis was supposed to prevent ICE from going to an immigration judge for an order of removal?

She couldn't do that.

Now that ICE has gone to that length, there is now cause to request a TRO.

12. Keep Kilmar. Deport Noem.
