Does no one read the fucking material?! The only item she brought before her was the ecological question. So yeah, that’s why she ruled as she did. Judges can’t go outside the scope of the case just because they feel like it.

yeah i read it don’t interrobang at me like i pissed in your cereal.
it’s absurd that apparently the most compelling case to make against the existence of a Concentration Camp is a temporary injunction against new prisoners and construction on ecological grounds until the case can be brought before a supreme court that, i dunno about you, but i dont expect to be terribly sympathetic to the ecological argument quite frankly. and like, yeah the article does specify that they should dismantle the generators and stuff but like, uh… who’s enforcing that, exactly? i mean what’s stopping them from just, y’know. not complying. again. with another court order. about migrants. another one.
but like yeah for sure they got al capone on the tax evasion thing so sure if it sticks i guess. i’m already holding my breath in anticipation.

Take a step back, BIG breath. All the judge had to work with was the environmental issue, that’s what the case challenged. She cannot bring additional challenges.
And YES, enforcement is the next question, and we all know how that will play out.
