Passerby6497@lemmy.world 18 hours agoThe courts aren’t completely corrupted yet and they are still in charge.
You sure about that? I’d live to have faith in the rule of law, but the trump admin is increasingly ignoring court orders, despite the public wins you mentioned.
I really feel like we’re going to see the admin trot out the apocryphal Andrew jackson quote of ‘the courts have made their decision, let them enforce it’ in the next year or so.

And yet his name is off the Kennedy building and his ballroom is not open.

And yet US citizens are still being abducted, killed, disappeared, and sent off to random countries. But sure, let’s all cheer about them removing his name from the Kennedy building lmao. What a joke.
(All in the name of immigration control! If only those us citizens had just sued the government I’m sure they’d still be alive!)

All fair points, but the person in question is an American native born citizen, so the ICE have no power here.
Also, US Citizens have sued and have shut down immigration facilities including the largest “Alligator Alcatraz”.

Except that ice has been detaining and killing native born Americans? There has been so many articles about keeping American born citizens in horrible conditions, and then dropping them off in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night during freezing cold nights. Would you like some? Or are you just going to say “That’s okay, because technically they’re abiding the courts”
I did not know that about alligator alcatraz, that is actually very nice to hear about. It wasn’t brought down because of who they were housing there, but that is besides the point.
