A federal judge in West Virginia has given the Trump administration an ultimatum: Stop illegally detaining immigrants or face contempt rulings and "monetary sanctions against responsible officials."

"Today, the Government continues to wrongfully detain those petitioners without due process," [Goodwin's] opinion reads. "Even now the Government incredulously asserts that the federal district courts do not have jurisdiction, that petitioners cannot raise due process violations, and that the Government has authority to mandatorily and indefinitely detain noncitizens in the local jail. The Government is wrong. Judges in this district have said that over and over and over again. I have said it myself."

Trump made 3.5 billion dollars his first 100 days in office. I’m sure these monetary rulings will match that scale. Right guys? Right? And then the best part is they’ll go to openai to pay for their shiny new autonomous weapons contracts!
