RTÉ's Órla O'Donnell on the jailing of #EnochBurke's mother #MartinaBurke and sister #AmmiBurke for #ContemptOfCourt.

Judge Cregan said it was "long past time for the court to call a halt to this family circus".

He said the Burkes had been treated with great forbearance by the courts but the situation where ten gardaí had to be present in court during Burke-related cases was completely abnormal and could not continue.

Federal Judge Orders Return of Venezuelans Deported to Notorious Prison in El Salvador

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return to the United States from Venezuela of nearly 140 Venezuelan men who were sent to El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison last March and accused without evidence of being gang members. On Thursday, Judge James E. Boasberg directed Trump officials to bring the men back to fight their cases in a U.S. court after being denied due process when they were expelled under the wartime Alien Enemies Act — secretly flown to El Salvador despite an emergency court order blocking their removal. Some of the men had pending asylum cases. Boasberg’s ruling is being described as one of the toughest steps taken against Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

SHORT THREAD: On Monday, extremist #transphobe #EnochBurke was returned to prison for continued #ContemptOfCourt, by #trespass at #WilsonsHospital school.

At the #HighCourt #IEHC, #MrJusticeCregan released his written judgment on Tuesday. #CreganJ was again blunt about Burke's "performative nonsense", "avalanche of lies", and legal self-harm.

CreganJ repeated that "Burke has the keys to his own prison"; and can be released if he promises not to trespass.

This is a terrible decision by #AttorneyGeneral #RossaFanning. #EnochBurke and the #BurkeFamily have waged a persistent campaign to undermine the rule of law, by defying injunctions, disrupting court proceedings, and systematically promoting lies about the courts.

The AG has given the #Burkes a license to continue their campaign against the rule of law. 😡 Criminal #contemptofcourt will continue 😞

On 28th November, after a previous hearing, #MrJusticeCregan had reminded #EnochBurke that he could leave prison whenever he wanted to: all he needed to do was to purge his #ContemptOfCourt by promising to stay away from the #WilsonsHospital school.

#EnochBurke was returned to prison today, after he again refused to purge his #ContemptOfCourt. Mr Justice Brian Cregan told Burke that he will stay in prison until his contempt is purged. No release for Christmas or Easter. Next review of imprisonment: 3rd March.

#JusticeCregan warned the Burke family that they'd be removed from court if there was any disruption. So they behaved.
