    Can’t pardon contempt. Boasman can literally jail everyone involved with ignoring his injunction except Trump. Used to be indefinitely, but I think that was capped.

    Boasman can also deputize citizens if the Marshal service decides they don’t want their jobs anymore.

      Can’t pardon civil contempt. The judge declared probable cause for criminal contempt, and crimes can be pardoned

        Federal judges have a large toolbox to force compliance with the court.

        It’s petty & I hope it doesn’t come to this, but personally, I’d love to watch some ICE agents getting ripped out of their homes at 3am.
