This is entertaining.

The Courts are less than one percent of the gov. The bulk answer to Trump.

Trump fired everyone he could when he entered office. That's the top 3+ levels of management with most being people who were there to carry out the will of upper management. So that's a lot of "tribal" knowledge and the people who understands how to do stuff.

Some of upper management understand just how fished they are without people to carry out orders, others do not. In addition a lot of upper management were given their jobs for insane reasons. Kennedy for his opposition to medical science. Whoever is in Justice and various other law enforcement agencies needs to be good with Trump pardoning the Jan 6th rioters.

So the overall competence level of the gov has gone massively down. We should expect every department to have it's own equiv of Signal Gate on a daily basis it's just mostly it doesn't end up in the news.

We should expect massive amounts of really stupid stuff, maybe including defying court orders, to happen just because the gov doesn't have the ability to do a lot of basic stuff.

It's also right after we were breathlessly and repeatedly told Biden was showing no signs of age.

The other massive issue is: How big a problem is this? It could be first-sign-of-fascism-torture... or it could be extreme outliers selected for being extreme outliers.

Trump's people could illegally arrest/imprison/deport 100 US citizens this year and it would be a serious improvement because the system averages 200.

We have about 11 million illegal immigrants living in the USA at the moment. In a normal year ICE will deport about a quarter of a million. If Trump tries to deport our way out of this mess then we will see a massive uptick in deportations that will be easily noticeable, negatively affect the economy, and won't be hidable.

If you want to worry about illegal immigrants then worry about hundreds of thousands, not dozens.

It's more vague that just "8".

"...if a person scores 8 points or higher based on symbolism but has no points from other categories like criminal behavior, authorities must consult a supervisor and the Office of Principal Legal Advisor before proceeding..."

All of the "auto convict" boxes are "10" and Leavitt says in that interview that they're not used this way.

DavidTC: We HAVE an immigration court in this country. They are completely ignoring it because they have decided to pretend a law says something different.

We have a lot of chaos in the system and people who don't know what they're doing. I am reluctant to take a case or three selected for being extreme outliers and say they're the norm.

How many points are needed for deportation? For "knowing" that someone is in a gang?
