Compare DOJ’s Flores statement with what is going on in the other class-action case: The Trump Administration Is Struggling To Find Separated Parents Before A Judge's Reunification Deadline —> https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/the-trump-administration-is-struggling-to-find-separated?utm_term=.hdZZ7vZzj … (corrected story & link)
Not at all. A few of us predicted this when the Executive Order was issued. It had so many "to the extent allowed by law"-style caveats that it was basically setting the stage for "oh well I guess we have to take the children because the mean old court won't allow otherwise." ...
I'm not entirely convinced that the DOJ lawyer wasn't told "Don't try to hard to win now, wink wink" before being sent to court.
The sentence about the court "acknowledging that parents won't be released" is the giveaway here. This was the desired result--or at least *a* desired result--all along. Say that there is nothing stopping them from imprisoning parents, then say "but we can't hold children...
...b/c of Flores," and the only possible move forward is to separate the families and blame it on the court, because if the court wanted to order the *parents* to be released it could've, but oh look it didn't, so what's a poor law-abiding President to do?
None of that is news; it is (aside from the “throwing the case” allegation) what we’ve been saying since the day the order was signed. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/trump-just-signed-something-about-children-being-separated?utm_term=.txKzqPzQB#.pi428Y2nM … // The point is that this ignores the existence of the other injunction, issued by Judge Sabraw. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/the-trump-administration-is-struggling-to-find-separated?utm_term=.lpVLpvLnK#.dt7pWNpoJ …
Agreed, but again, not unusual. @TheJusticeDept seldom addresses more than one case at a time in public statements. It mirrors the posture taken in individual cases. To a DOJ lawyer, nothing outside the 4 corners of a particular case exists unless it furthers the govt's argument.
OK. We’re talking past each other here, and I’m tired. Have a good night.
How does DOJ square this statement with the injunction in the Ms L case?
Sounds like he didn’t get clearance yet to run with that statement. Maybe WH other preoccupied tonight with other issues.
Huh? Wha? Good faith efforts to enforce the law? What law. Last I heard he was committing treason, committing crimes against humanity and Against the planet, committing hate crimes, encouraging and applauding child abusers and rapists.
