Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut called for a federal judge to contemplate holding U.S. officials in contempt of court over alleged unlawful deportations by the Trump administration. Lawyers representing affected immigrants claimed that deportations from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan breached an order from U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, which stipulated that immigrants must be given 15 days to contest such actions due to potential danger. Blumenthal asserted that violations of court orders should incur strict penalties to maintain the rule of law.
If those individuals were on a plane sent to South Sudan, it seems...a violation of the court order. Judge Murphy ought to be really angry.
Violation of court orders ought to be treated with the utmost of sanctions, because otherwise the law is dead letter.
