At least 35 times since August, federal #judges have ordered the #Trump admin to explain why it should not be punished for violating their orders in #immigration cases.

The judge was angry. She had ordered a detained immigrant to be released in #Minnesota, but instead he was let go in #ElPaso, #Texas where he had to spend the night in a shelter. All his property was supposed to have been returned, but the government was still holding his identity papers.

“Why should I not hold you in #contempt?” the judge asked a #DOJ lawyer at a hearing last week. Instead of answers, she got excuses.

“I don’t think there was ever any intention to defy the court orders,” said the lawyer, Matthew Isihara, a military judge advocate [#JAG] on temporary assignment to the Justice Department. “We were doing our best & things, unfortunately, slipped — slipped through the cracks.”
