Federal judge grants Minnesota law enforcement’s request for a temporary restraining order against DHS, ICE, CBP.

@heidilifeldman In ordinary times this would help a lot, but we are not living in ordinary times. Those agencies will not obey the court order. They’ll ignore it just as they have so many other rulings.

When do we say that the legal system is broken and will not get us out of this fix? We will need it later, for the trials, but right now it is useless without effective enforcement.

@davesdogmaggie @heidilifeldman I think that is probably your lunch moving.

@heidilifeldman Sadly, I'd say to the judge and not destroying or altering evidence by federal agencies, good luck with that.

@heidilifeldman They break the law all the time. They'll break it again.
Keep the pressure up!

If they won't obey established law without a court order, they won't obey those laws with one either.

@heidilifeldman it's a shame this has only happened after the constitution has been dismantled and the judiciary rendered irrelevant. Good luck putting the toothpaste back in that tube

@heidilifeldman was destroying/altering evidence allowed before? 🤨

@heidilifeldman you have violent goon squads, loyal to a fascist regime, doing ethnic cleansings. That's well past the point where courts and restraining orders have any practical value

@heidilifeldman What's the point?

(1) Destroying evidence must already have been illegal, so this doesn't add anything.

(2) Trump will take no more notice of this than he does of any other court orders, so this doesn't add anything.

(3) In the unlikely event that Trump even gets to hear of it and it does bother him, he'll simply get the supreme court to overturn it, so this doesn't add anything.

Oh wait ... some lawyers got paid loadsamoney for this court case, so there *are* some winners.

@kongakong @davesdogmaggie @heidilifeldman all evidence by now has been either destroyed or hopelessly tampered with.

And like you said, Trump ignores courts.

@heidilifeldman the ICE who have a secret memorandum to ignore 4th Amendment centuries of judicial precedent on needing a judicial warrant are all of a sudden going to obey this?

@heidilifeldman good for the historical record, I guess

@heidilifeldman
As with most or all of federal judges orders,the regime will lie, make up reasons why they can’t, or just ignore it.

@heidilifeldman the fact that (blue) states legitimately are compelled to go to the federal courts for this type of relief is evidence that we are already in a civil war in the US, started by the executive branch against states that did not cote for this executive.

bucachowchow@mstdn.party

@TimWardCam @heidilifeldman i think, though I am not certain, that the lawyers that filed for this and got the relief were the Minnesota state attorney general’s office and/or the attorneys for the county where Minneapolis is located - the public servants of Minnesota, not private lawyers.

@heidilifeldman
The restraining order should prevent ICE and Border patrol deployment in Minnesota.

It won't stop them, but it'll be read into evidence at Bovino's trial.
