#judiciary

I have no doubt it’s true. Lawyers for Rep #IlhanOmar (D-Minnesota) on Friday accused federal authorities of ignoring key restrictions that a #judge placed on the search of the lawmaker’s DC residence this week & demanded the immediate return of all property seized from the home. #GiftArticle #Trump #law #DOJ #immigration #SeparationOfPowers #judiciary #Congress #RevengePolitics #MafiaState #WhiteChristianNationalism #Islamophobia #Xenophobia #racism #sexism

Judge wrong to hear case from bed while recovering from surgery, court says https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/sep/23/judge-hears-case-from-bed-recovering-surgery-court-of-appeal #Law #Court #Judiciary

At roughly noon on Tuesday, #ThomasMassie, a #Republican from #Kentucky, stood up on the floor of the #House and read articles of #impeachment against #PeteHegseth into the record. Not a press release. Not a tweet. A privileged resolution, which means #MikeJohnson can’t bury it in #Judiciary the way he buried the two Democratic versions. The House has to deal with it within two legislative days. Massie didn’t give #GOP leadership a heads-up. He just walked in and did it.

🚨🚨 Whistle-Blower Says #Trump Officials Are Defying #Court Orders on #MailVoting 🚨🚨 A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the #USPS could imperil millions of #MailBallots ahead of the #midterms. A USPS official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a #CourtOrder blocking those plans. #law #judiciary

Still, even in its new form, #ToddBlanche’s order for the #IRS to abandon any audits of #Trump’s previous tax returns is an unprecedented & “potentially” (definitely) illegal benefit to a sitting president, worth tens of millions of dollars in lower taxes & avoided penalties. #law #criminal #theft #fraud #JudicialProcess #judiciary #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState

The tax provision emerged as the biggest sticking point on the eve of a scheduled #Judiciary Cmte vote. Cornyn, a former state #judge who lost a primary to a #Trump backed challenger, Ken Paxton [total POS], said he had received no written assurances from #ToddBlanche that the #IRS audit shield would not apply to future tax liabilities or be extended to a wider circle of people. #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #SlushFund

#ToddBlanche’s confirmation hearing to become the 88th attorney general of the United States began with #Senate #Judiciary Committee #ChuckGrassley, #Republican of Iowa, welcoming him & giving opening remarks, followed by the tanking #Democrat on the committee, #DickDurbin of Illinois. Durbin’s remarks were worth hearing, the rest not so much. Grassley’s were prebuttal & defensive, Blanche’s were all lies. Sadly Durbin is retiring. He’s very good, but he is advanced in his years. #law #Trump

Dugan resigned the Milwaukee County circuit judgeship she had held for 9 years in January amid #threats of impeachment from #Republican state lawmakers who labeled her an activist judge. In her resignation letter, she said her prosecution threatened “the independence of our #judiciary.” Republican US Rep Tom Tiffany, a fierce #Trump loyalist running for #Wisconsin governor, urged authorities to “lock her up” on social media following her conviction. #law #immigration

Don’t take the bait. As soon as #Republicans pass the $72 billion bill to fund #ICE & #CBP operations, #Trump will restart the #MAGASlushFund. He cannot be trusted.

Judge Orders US to Return #Colombian Woman Deported to #Congo The unusual ruling came after the judge found that the #Trump admin had most likely violated the #law by deporting the 55-year-old woman to the African country despite its refusal to take her. The judge ordered the admin to return the woman, Adriana Maria Quiroz Zapata to the #US, a rare instance of a judge doing so amid the admin’s #deportation campaign. #immigration #judiciary #rendition #AbuseOfPower

"This isn’t about constitutional reform. It’s about politics. More specifically, it’s part of a broader and increasingly brazen conservative effort to either control the courts or, failing that, convince the public not to trust them." https://www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion/danielle-smith-drags-the-judiciary-deeper-into-her-partisan-mud-slinging/393813#judiciary #abpoli #cdnpoli #separatism #UCPCorruption #GOPNorth #democracy

"The Trump administration...appears to be manipulating the judicial process to dramatically reduce the chance that Somali immigrants are granted asylum. Matthew Happock is an immigration lawyer based in Kansas City. He currently represents eight Somali migrants in immigration court. On February 4, Happock said that all his cases had been reassigned to a new immigration judge." ~ Judd Legum #Trump #immigrants #judiciary #courts #Somalis #SherronAshworth /13
