Judge holds Trump administration in contempt for deporting immigrant children

Source: American Independent

By Associated Press -February 20, 2020 9:20 AM

A judge said the government couldn't deport five young immigrants. The government deported them anyway.

A federal judge has found the U.S. government in contempt after authorities deported five young immigrants who were seeking to remain in the country under a program for abused and neglected immigrant children.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins issued the civil order Friday after finding the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services violated a 2018 preliminary injunction that required them to notify lawyers of any enforcement action against the young immigrants in a class-action lawsuit in California.

Despite the preliminary injunction, five immigrants who were seeking to stay in the United States under a federal government program for abused immigrant children were deported, and one of them was reportedly assaulted.

Mary Tanagho Ross, appellate staff attorney at Public Counsel's Immigrants' Rights Project, said she learned of the deportations months after one of the immigrants was back in Guatemala, where he was attacked by gang members.

Now what? Will anyone be incarcerated? Fined? Censured? Wrists slapped?
What will happen?

I don't know, but I have a guess..........nothing, nada, zip, zilch.
I'd like to see the turd being perp-walked down the steps of the White House, but that won't happen either.

Stole this from somewhere:

FLUSH THE TURD
NOVEMBER THIRD

Throw Turd and his minions in one of their baby jails, and make them sleep on a concrete floor and drink from a toilet.

4. Yes, why no warrants and arrests for the top Trump officials who authorized this illegal action?

Start at the top, arrest the top 3-4 DHS and USCIS officials, work your way down to say 25-30 total arrests. Throw them in jail, every single one, for contempt of a duly-issued court order. Suspend any plea for release from jail via bail, hold them in jail until and during their trials and if found guilty, issue the maximum jail time sentence allowed.

Look, since only raw power is what these folks understand.....let's use our power to fight back!

so long as they want to come back, and pay $500 for each day after that each one remains out of the country."

Which means nothing. WE, the taxpayers will pay the fine, just like we did when DeVos was held in contempt and the Dept. of Education paid the $100,000 fine.

JAIL these assholes.
