Trump had no merit, is given privileges.

Once you hold white supremacists accountable, they system will implode.

Let's change the system. Lock him up. Send a message to all other white supremacists

"You start to think of contempt as a virus. Infecting individuals first, but spreading rapidly through families, communities, peoples, power structures, nations. Less flashy than hate. More deadly. When contempt kills you, it doesn't have to be a vendetta or even entirely conscious. It can be a passing whim. It's far more common, and therefore more lethal."  - Zadie Smith Intimations

Brandi Buchman at HuffPost:

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said there is cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for ignoring his orders over flights containing migrants who were sent to El Salvador. In a lengthy ruling issued Wednesday, the judge said there was sufficient evidence to show a “willful disregard” by the administration of his orders in March that directed officials to halt the flight of more than 130 Venezuelan migrants to the CECOT prison in El Salvador without any due process. The administration sent the migrants amid Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. For the last several weeks, Boasberg has grilled officials about the flights, pressing for details on when the government started hauling people out of the United States and who specifically made those orders. Prosecutors have dodged his questions routinely, claiming state secret privileges over information or flatly asserting that they simply don’t know who instructed the planes to keep going even after his order was issued.

On Wednesday, Boasberg gave attorneys representing the government until April 23 to comply with his requests for information. He also offered an alternate path: He would “purge” the contempt proceedings if the administration asserts custody over the people who were removed so that they “might avail themselves of their right to challenge their removability through a habeas proceeding.” If they opt not to comply, Boasberg gave one other option: Prosecutors should file a declaration stating exactly who made the decision not to stop the transfer of migrants. The “foundational ‘rule of law,’” Boasberg wrote, demands that there be an inquiry over the administration’s compliance, or lack thereof. That “rule of law,” he said, “reflects a belief that in the fair administration of justice no man can be judge in his own case,” no matter how “exalted his station” or “righteous his motives.” In March, when Boasberg issued an oral order demanding the return of the two flights to the U.S., Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign argued that an oral order was not the same as a written one. Legally, whether oral or written, the orders hold the same force of effect. The judge wrote Wednesday that he had tried to give the Justice Department multiple chances to “rectify or explain their actions” after that exchange, but they did not.

Judge James E. Boasberg opens up criminal contempt proceedings against Trump Regime officials for their blatant disobedience to court rulings regarding Alien Enemies Act deportations.
