  1. #Immigrants arrested after appearing in #courtrooms on higher floors were ferried by agents to holding cells on the 10th floor, an off-limits area where #ICE typically keeps a few people for several hours as they are processed & transferred elsewhere.

    But ICE agents have apprehended so many people showing up for routine appointments this month that the facilities appear to be overcrowded.

  2. Yesterday a #Federal judge barred parts of an insane illegal heavy handed and chilling childlike #DJT #ExecutiveOrder targeting exclusively employees and clients of a large influential #DC #beltway #lawfirm he doesn't like.

    Known as #PerkinsCoie , the 100+ yr old firm
    started in #Seattle and has long represented that region's top tech clients including #Amazon & #Microsoft etc, as well as many other #Fortune500 names .

    The #RWNJ #HoiPolloi anger at the firm has to do with the fact #PerkinsCoie attorneys helped commission the embarrassing and disputed #SteeleDossier that included allegations against a failed NJ casino operator turned political candidate.who became President TWICE!

    The far reaching petty #policestate and draconian #Drumpf overreach would've made it virtually impossible for #employees or any of the 1000+ #attorneys at the firm to do biz in #DC . The order barred firm partners from even speaking to #federalemployees, or to physically enter any govt #property including #courtrooms etc.

  6. The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other country—about as many as #China—while, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.

    Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.

  7. While cameras are common in state & local #courtrooms, they are generally not allowed in #FederalCourtrooms. The #Judicial Conference of the United States, the policymaking body for the courts, has allowed some pilot programs in recent decades focused on civil cases. Lawmakers in both parties have unsuccessfully pushed legislation to allow more #transparency.
    During the pandemic, court policies were loosened, w/some federal courts using Zoom for hearings & live-streaming audio of oral arguments.
