'You felt you could disregard it?': Judge grills Trump DOJ over White House ignoring oral order - eviltoast

Summary

A federal judge criticized a Trump administration Justice Department lawyer who claimed they didn’t have to follow the judge’s oral order blocking deportations to El Salvador because it wasn’t in writing.

Judge Boasberg questioned why the administration ignored his directive to return immigrants to the US. The DOJ lawyer repeatedly refused to provide information about the deportations, citing “national security concerns.”

Frustrated, Boasberg ordered sworn declarations explaining what happened, quipping that he would issue a written order “since apparently my verbal orders don’t seem to carry much weight.”

    I wonder how long I’ll survive as an Asian American…

    Asian Americans are the smallest minority in the US, so that’s not looking good. I’m wondering if the so called “Model Minority” sterotype would help (I mean like East Asians, specifically).

    Philly btw. Hopefully Shapiro isn’t fucking spineless like the rest of the dems (doubt), but like the federalism is really the only safeguard left.
