The Justice Department is requiring all US attorneys to rapidly assign prosecutors for “emergency jump teams” supporting districts handling alleged assaults or obstruction of law enforcement, according to an internal memo obtained by Bloomberg Law.
A senior official instructed leaders of the nation’s 93 US attorney’s offices Feb. 2 that they have until Feb. 6 to designate one or two assistant US attorneys who’d be available for short-term surges in unspecified areas needing “urgent assistance due to emergent or critical situations.” The memo coincides with media reports this week of a new round of mass resignations of federal prosecutors in Minneapolis.

If anything it’s more ammunition for their dissolution of civil society. “See, the courts are broken, we have no choice but to detain people without warrants and trials.”
Just read the article that’s not what’s happening
They can already throw you in jail if they want the problem is it’s actually hard to keep you there if you have a lawyer and it’s not legitimate
They want to bring more cases to prosecution not just temporarily arrest people because they’re taking over society not dissolving it
Something something all authority is born at the end of a gun.
“A lawyer says this is illegal.” They’ll deny access to lawyers. They’ll ignore lawyers. They’ll arrest lawyers. I’m pretty sure they’ve done all three at least once by now. Once killing people becomes open policy and not something they have to hide and mask through innuendo, they’ll kill lawyers, too.
They are the ones with the guns and the audacity to use them, so they have the power of action while we throw paper at them.
You’re right, subsume is probably a better word, but they cannot do that without utterly invalidating the systems that exist now that are in their way. And they are doing that through audaciously and violently ignoring them, so don’t be surprised when they do the same to the Western concept of criminal justice.
Their courts are broken.
Whatever society replaces this neoliberal shithole might have better luck.
