The Guardian: US immigration agents detain two-year-old Minnesota girl: ‘depravity beyond words’

"...The father, identified in court filings as Elvis Joel TE, and his daughter were stopped and detained by officers around 1pm when they were returning home from the store. By the evening, a federal judge had ordered the girl be released by 9.30pm. But federal officials instead put both of them on a plane heading to a Texas detention center...."

"By the evening, a federal judge had ordered the girl be released by 9.30pm. But federal officials instead put both of them on a plane heading to a Texas detention center"

Some government lawyer is staring down the barrel of a contempt of court citation and sanctions. Judges have had enough of that bullshit!

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @AlgoCompSynth They enjoy a sort of unofficial immunity to law thing right now. No judge seems to have been brave enough to issue warrants for their arrests.

@nazokiyoubinbou @GhostOnTheHalfShell Boasberg has come very close. He's the one who ordered the planes to El Salvador to turn around and bring the people back. We'll see how this case plays out but I'm hoping we can move a Senate or House committee to have hearings and call these judges, the guy that got blinded, etc. as witnesses.
