    Judges need to start issuing arrest warrants for contempt of court for immigration officials who ignore legal documents such as work permits. That’s the only thing that will stop things like in the article from happening. Also, as a reminder, crossing the border illegally is only a misdemeanor.

      Bear in mind the courts have issued orders intending to halt a lot of the heinous shit the Trump administration’s been doing with no means to enforce them. I suppose it’s good to leave out as a paper trail for though.

        There is a means to enforce them. Arrest Warrants for officials and paying to extradite from where ever they are. Judges are too chickenshit to do it.
