    I get what you are saying and I agree that it is bullshit, but the fault isn’t with the judge. There are a lot of things our government and laws were not prepared for and and unscrupulous fascist government is power was one of them. This is a jurisdictional loophole that might allow ICE to hold US citizens captive indefinitely. Native Americans are very well acquainted with this type of fuckery.

      You’re right that we live in unprecedented times, but judges are there to uphold the rule of law, as set forth by congress. But they are also well within their rights to push back against unconstitutional laws. This situation qualifies as unconstitutional.
