        DOJ: "This Court, given its ongoing exercise of jurisdiction over the Flores Settlement Agreement, has the authority and responsibility to resolve these growing concerns by immediately permitting family detention." / Key claim there is "responsibility."

        This appears to be a key point of this executive order — to allow the Trump administration to attempt to claim that either the court or Congress are to blame if the problem, which the Trump admin created with its zero-tolerance policy, is not fixed by one of those bodies.

        Bad timing I'd say... who runs this legal team for the @DOJ? It's the B team, right? Everyone who was on the A team quit and only idiots take this crap to our courts to be laughed out.

        The CA Central District Court put that consent decree in place to stop INS from exactly the kinds of abuses the Trump regime and ICE are committing. Trump's policy is already violates that order. I can't imagine the court would make it easier for them to continue that abuse.

        They may be able to get away with it! In 1993 the court ruled that the “decision to exceed those standards is a policy judgment, not a constitutional imperative.” They denied that immigrant children have more than "minimum" substantive due process rights! http://holtesthoughts.blogspot.com/2018/06/substantive-vs-procedural-due-process.html …
