Trump doesn’t like separation of powers.

Isn’t this shit what triggered the American Revolution?

    It’s not quite as bad as it seems at first because upon further reading she wasn’t arrested for a ruling. She was arrested for sending the immigrant out of the court room with ICE came looking.

    It’s … still bad, but not like she ruled that someone was safe and then Trump was like “arrest her!”

      It’s way worse than that because what’s on the line here is the ability of the GestapoICE to wait for immigrants in courts, effectively depriving them of due process. Because who’s going to show up in court when they know they’ll be arrested and sent off to a Salvadorian concentration camp?

      The judge didn’t need to be cuffed and stuffed. This was a show to warn other judges that this shit is coming to their courthouse too.

        Also, immigrant victims of abuse will be reluctant to show up in court to press the case against their perpetrators

      Getting arrested for trying to maintain due process in the face of ICE arresting people in courtrooms is a pretty big deal. How long until there is a shoot out in a courtroom between ICE and court officers at this rate?
