Banality of evil

Her thesis is that Eichmann was actually not a fanatic or a sociopath, but instead an average and mundane person who relied on clichéd defenses rather than thinking for himself,[16] was motivated by professional promotion rather than ideology, and believed in success which he considered the chief standard of “good society”.[17] Banality, in this sense, does not mean that Eichmann’s actions were in any way ordinary, but that his actions were motivated by a sort of complacency which was wholly unexceptional.[18]

bureaucracy and human cowardice hard at work!

ehh…that sort of group punishment doesn’t really make sense here. Arresting someone you’ve been ordered to arrest isn’t inherently evil in the way that, say, killing someone you’ve been ordered to kill would be.

It’s not reasonable to punish a cop (even an ICE agent) acting administratively in good faith. His or her bosses, up the chain, who make the decision? Yes, let’s go and get those fuckers. But if we want to get the ICE agents, it has to be for something else.

5 years? The only way to deal with a Nazi is to kill it. Trump himself wrote an EO plainly stating the federal government will hunt down and kill anti-fascists… they want to kill you just because you want to jail them for being fascist fucks.

“Hay, you’re getting really good at this.”

Its go vote, get a gun, train on red dummies for when the time comes.

People have lost faith that there is any candidate willing to fix or even slow this.

We voted our way into this. The lying is the issue

That’s what the masks are for

it is. it is also legal to kill an ice agent or any non-estranged family.

Do you think an organization already acting illegally would care about the court’s contempt? Who will make them care?

Find someone that has the balls to actually stop them.

I said this to them and they pepper sprayed me and put a gun up to my temple and sexuality assaulted me and my daughter to punish me for speaking.

Apparently “you are in contempt” isn’t able to stand against violence and destruction. Who knew? I wonder what does?

There is no more social contract and no more law. The sooner people accept this, the better.

The courts holding them in contempt just means the feeling is mutual.

Seriously though, the article says that some judges have held immigration officials in contempt, but didn’t say what that meant. were they arrested? Fined?

In Louisiana, in the case of another client of Pranzatelli, a federal judge held a senior federal immigration official in contempt of court for violating orders, demanding Ibrahim Mohammed’s release after he had been re-arrested three times by ICE, as first reported by the Banner. Two other federal judges, in Pennsylvania and Minnesota, have also held federal immigration authorities in contempt or threatened to do so.

Attorneys believe that certain re-detentions are connected to the Trump administration’s push to deport people to third countries.

“It’s really tethered to the explosion of third country agreements with primarily African nations in the past four months,” said Susanna Booth, senior attorney at Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, based in Washington DC.

The Trump administration is increasingly sending immigrants who cannot be removed to their home countries, either because the country will not accept them or they have protections from being deported there, to another country entirely, where they don’t hold citizenship and often have no ties. In the past, these immigrants were essentially safe from deportation.

Can we just get a deal going where one guy gets arrested a few thousand times on paper and we all go home?
