Judge also warned he could name independent prosecutor if White House stonewalled contempt proceedings

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that there was probable cause to hold Trump officials in criminal contempt for violating his temporary injunction that barred the use of the Alien Enemies Act wartime power to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.

In a scathing 46-page opinion, James Boasberg, the chief US district judge for Washington, wrote that senior Trump officials could either return the people who were supposed to have been protected by his injunction, or face contempt proceedings.

The judge also warned that if the administration tried to stonewall his contempt proceedings or instructed the justice department to decline to file contempt charges against the most responsible officials, he would appoint an independent prosecutor himself.

      I haven’t just noticed. I’ve been watching your bullshit all along. Around 35 years of your bullshit not including my time as a youth. Decades, Generations. Splitting hairs does fuck all. Get your shit together and end this before we Canadians have to deal with it as well.

        What is it with all the brand new accounts?

        Did you really just join lemmy 2 days ago?

        It just doesn’t feel like it’s growing this much, more like the same hyper argumentative people keep having to make new accounts for some reason…

          I’ve been on Lemmy for 2 years. This account is simply for .world and it’s bullshit inhabitants. Made for challenging American exceptionalism, American, individualism and American dictatorships. Without doxing myself to you crazy fucks. Like many Lemmy users I have multiple sign ins. This one is just for you and your bullshit. If the Chinese and Russians can do it openly so can We.

          I can imagine that thought process has become apparent to more than just myself.

          KMA> kiss my ass MURI> 'murica

          Enjoy.

              Nope. It isn’t. Just separated completely. Pushing the buttons of American citizens to get them angry enough to defend themselves is the current trajectory for ensuring the planned invasion of Canada fails to take place or at a minimum weakens the dictator to a point where he is easier dealt with.

              It’s not just 'murica you’ve drawn into this mess and some of us don’t plan to sit back and let our country be over run by some celebrity asshole dictator and his oligarch buddies. I’m not in your country but this is what I can do for mine at the moment.
