Federal judges across the country are publicly calling out the Trump administration for putting its own lawyers in an impossible situation, and ICE still doesn’t care. ⚖️ A recent article in Politico explains that judges in multiple states have gone out of their way to distinguish between rank-and-file Justice Department attorneys and the political leadership at the DOJ and ICE, making clear the real problem isn’t the lawyers standing in the courtroom. Judges say ICE is the one defying court orders, missing deadlines, and offering nothing when courts demand accountability. In Minnesota, a federal judge described government attorneys as being placed in an impossible position after the administration sent three thousand ICE agents into the state without any plan for the hundreds of lawsuits that followed. In New Jersey, a judge found that ICE had committed scores of violations of court orders and received complete silence in return. No explanation, no plan to improve, no regret. 📄 In West Virginia, a judge praised DOJ attorneys for being professional and responsive while making clear that the clients they represent, federal immigration enforcers, have shown complete disregard for the rule of law. This is not a minor bureaucratic breakdown. Courts across the country are rejecting ICE’s detention practices as illegal, and judges are scolding the administration publicly. DOJ attorneys are resigning or being fired under this pressure. And still, ICE continues detaining people illegally, missing deadlines, and defying court orders because there have been no real consequences. 🚨 The courtroom remains one of the few places where immigrants are winning, and the administration’s silence in the face of judicial orders shows they know it.
