29. Why aren't legal release orders for Immediate release?
Sat Jan 31, 2026, 02:50 AM
Jan 2026

With the release being to the state of (for example) Minnesota? or a non- profit agency with people always available?
I know little of this part if the system, but why isn't, for example,
An order delivered with people assigned to take custody accompanying, and ready to go wherever necessary to get the person (within the judge's jurusdiction)? If the person no longer in state and ordered not to remove person from state, then the perpetrators are already in violation and need to be brought in front if the judge immediately and/or thrown in jail awaiting a hearing for their violations. No bail. Etc.
The people that would take custody can then arrange for a humane release not dumped on the streets thousands of miles from home.
And immediate means immediate. If not immediate the people involved are violation. The violation is not erased by release.
ICE etc whisk people around from state to state, and out of the country,so quickly that there are clearly no time consuming paperwork requirements that need to be followed before release.

The time given to enact judicial orders seems to be part of what ICE etc use to f--k around with the system. The court system needs to respond appropriately.

Eddited to ADD: the Jan 6th traitor were released pretty damn near immediately. The system must be made to respond as diligently and quickly to a judge's orders as to the president's.
