      Did you not read the article? They’re facing contempt of court charges and have until the 23rd to support their defense. If the DoJ refuses to enforce the charges, the judge said he’ll appoint an attorney to do so.

        I read the article. I’ve also seen what’s happened so far when judges have sanctioned or ruled against Trump … and nothing happens.

          No members of his administration have been charged yet. Courts are slow. They ordered injunctions, which were defied. The judges didn’t hold them in contempt to prevent evidence of bias prior to a ruling. As of yesterday, they have defied rulings. Today, they set the contempt of court charge in motion. This is how the courts work.

            Been hearing this shit for years. The Ukraine call, stealing classified documents, the election interference, the insurrection. When they finally got a conviction the judge wasn’t even allowed to punish Trump.

            So this is time they’re serious? Yeah I’ll believe it when I see it.

            An innocent man with no charges filed against him was illegally deported on the 15th of March. Despite court orders trying to prevent it, or have him returned, nothing was done to stop this or fix this. He has spent 33 days illegally held and no one has faced any consequences for this so far.

            “Courts are slow, this is fine.”

            Tell that to the man being tortured for over a month if he’s still alive. I’m sure his family will be relieved when charges are filled against some scapegoat who offended Trump in 2028.
