ICE Court Cases to Watch
Another notice of TRO violations has been filed in federal court. At 10AM tomorrow (Tuesday) there is a hearing where border patrol chief Gregory Bovino must appear in front of Judge Sara Ellis. They have violated her temporary restraining order in multiple ways and on multiple occasions that have now been documented with the court. Not only are they violating with their use of force and deployment of chemical agents, they are also not wearing clearly visible identification. In this notice filed, we can see the officers deploying tear gas but their faces are covered and there is no way to identify them. They are also supposed to be wearing body cameras. During an interview with the media, Bovino questioned the TRO and said he takes his orders from the executive branch, including President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Federal judges really don't like it when you question their authority and flout their orders. Let's hope Judge Ellis throws the book at all of them!
By 5PM, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is also supposed to release their decision on the deployment of national guard troops to Portland, Oregon. The feds have lied to the court about the numbers of troops being deployed, so that may irritate the court. "Plaintiffs write to alert the Court of a material factual error by defendants on which the panel relied to grant a stay pending appeal. Given that reliance, and the gravity of the interests at stake, plaintiffs ask that the panel immediately withdraw its order or, in the alternative, that the en banc court immediately vacate it."
