Based on her inspection of his birth certificate and Social Security card, Riggans said she found no probable cause for the charge. However, the state prosecutor insisted the court lacked jurisdiction over Lopez-Gomez’s release because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had formally asked the jail to hold him.
“This court does not have any jurisdiction other than what I’ve already done,” Riggans said.
Riggans said she was very sorry as Lopez-Gomez’s mother left.
This is such bullshit. The judge is just as guilty of this racist bullshit as is ICE and anybody else willing to roll over to suck Trump’s tiny dick.
I get what you are saying and I agree that it is bullshit, but the fault isn't with the judge. There are a lot of things our government and laws were not prepared for and and unscrupulous fascist government is power was one of them. This is a jurisdictional loophole that might allow ICE to hold US citizens captive indefinitely. Native Americans are very well acquainted with this type of fuckery.
Thr judge could have ordered him released and pushed the burden of an appeal onto the state. Definitely the right thing to do when an innocent man is imprisoned.
Yeah. This is why we have judges. A really surprisingly large amount of a judge's job is looking at the situation and saying, more or less, "You know what? That's a bunch of bullshit. Here's what we're going to do."
That's the whole reason there is "precedent" and then sometimes precedent gets overturned. They're just using their, you know... judgement. There's a whole interplay of written laws vs. what happened before vs. what should happen now, it's not just like the judge is the CPU and then they execute the law like a program and then output a judgement.
The tolerance for "it's a loophole" or "it's a glitch" as an excuse from human beings with power and agency in a system that's never been built assuming it would be run by a computer is way too high.
That would be the moral thing to do, but not the legal thing to do. Simply put, the judge doesn't have the jurisdiction and they would have to knowingly break the law to let the person go. Yes, it is ridiculous.
I think we have to entertain the very real possibility that most of these judges are under duress. I bet some of them received a few pictures or videos of themselves or their family members during candid moments...
Or...the judge is a racist.
Occam’s Razor
You’re right that we live in unprecedented times, but judges are there to uphold the rule of law, as set forth by congress. But they are also well within their rights to push back against unconstitutional laws. This situation qualifies as unconstitutional.
Do we fight for our fellow country men? Or do we let the fascists pick us apart one by one ?
Sadly, we all know the answer to that...
That US individualism sure is paying off
The dipshits who fall for that change their tune really quickly when they suddenly realise that they have received the benefits of being in a society their whole life, without knowing it
They genuinely believe that they are "self made", when they're the recipient of the benefit of living in a modern society
They're children.
Children can learn.
These people are subhuman racists.
They are Nazis.
They believe a human can be born deserving fewer rights than another human.
It’s that simple.
They are Nazis.
Yep
I don't have any interest in their redemption
I sincerely hope that they all become victims of their own hatred, but the problem with that is that they take other people down with them. Their kids, the people around them
There is no good solution, so I patiently hope that they just run out of steam and we can go back to ignoring them
Ignoring them is like ignoring a tumor.
Sooner or later you have to surgically remove it.
Or die.
Oh, I'm talking about ignoring them when they are relegated back to the bottom of the pile again, where they belong
For now, they're far too dangerous to ignore
Lopez-Gomez gave his Georgia state ID to the trooper, who wrote in his report that Lopez-Gomez said he was in the country illegally.
So the police officer was a racist piece of shit, and brought him into this bullshit? He should be sued
Fired and jailed. That statement is a legal document, it should be assumed that the police officer is under oath when writing it, and therefore has perjured himself.
anyone who voted for the orange cancer is complicit.
when all this is over, there better be some consequences for them.
anyone who voted for the orange cancer is complicit.
As is anyone who failed to vote against him. I'm not talking about stay-at-home Democrats either. I know Ayn Rand-ish "libertarian" old-time Republicans who always toed the old-school Republican lines on healthcare, social spending, global warming, taxes, offense spending &etc, who KNEW that Trump was a fraud and a nascent dictator, and who refused to vote against him because "my vote doesn't matter, the Whole System is a charade, there are People in power who control everything including elections and who just pretend to give us the illusion of choice every few years at the polls". Basically a stupid excuse to avoid admitting that they've spent a lifetime wallowing in the deep end of the conservative bullshit pool only to have it end in a dystopia that will drown them too. Anything is better than admitting to having been wrong with their whole ideology for their whole lives. Wrong = weak, and I suspect too that they're thinking "anyway, I donated $100 to a Trump election PAC, surely I'll be OK, they won't be coming for me."
Today, every USA citizen doing nothing is complicit. And as guilty
Arrested for crossing a state border while brown..
I only pray that the innocent can avoid the death camps. Lord have mercy on our souls.
