Is Trump going to defy the California Judge's order for reunification?

[spanone]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge in California has ordered U.S. border authorities to reunite separated families within 30 days.

If the children are younger than 5, they must be reunified within 14 days of the order, issued Tuesday.

SIX DAYS DOWN AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING.

this is according to a attorney on Rachel Maddow's show who represents some of the victims.

1. No, he's just going to ignore it. Courts can make decisions, but they can't enforce them.

I don’t know how in tf this is going to shake out, span.

[spanone]

2. so he IS above the law...

[Leghorn21]

3. Sure looks that way. Who will defy him?...who can give orders to the border patrol people and ICE?

Only he can, I’ve heard (though I don’t know that for a stone fact) -

I learned in Dec. of ‘16 that Putin effectively did away with Russia’s judiciary system in right about two years, and, as we know, only the most courageous Russians attempt to write freely and honestly anymore about what is really going on in their country.

I watch in dismay as this nightmare marches forward, but I know we’re all doing what we can, span, disheartening as it may be sometimes -

*sigh*

5. Hate to say this but that's what the Germans said when Hitler started gassing Jews.

Our democracy is dying bit by bit.

[Leghorn21]

10. Yes, t, this is not happening and cannot happen, but here we are. I read many times a day

not to overreact and to keep the faith etc., but I know we’re all struggling terribly on a daily basis...this shit is HARD.

— but we’ll be back tomorrow, OH HELL YEAH

4. Yes they will defy the order, I would not be shocked or surprised if there are dead babies and girls

... sold to pervs.

There's no good reason why anyone shouldn't know exactly where these children already are.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. If the children aren't reunited, then we must PRESUME

dead babies, sold babies, and trafficked older boys and girls.

I hope members of our leadership will demand answers, and never drop it. We have a child trafficker in the White House, and we need to scream it to the rooftops.

14. +1

6. How many divisions has the Pope?

[AlexSFCA]

7. any court decision can be appealed to his loyal SC

eventually he will install enough judges in federal and circuit courts that SC wont even be necessary

[in2herbs]

8. I'm not a lawyer, but I beleive the court has the authority and power

to hold the defendant (HHS Secty Alex Azar?) in contempt of court for violation of a court order and can put him in jail until compliance.

[triron]

9. Hope you are correct!

But could Trump override that?

[Takket]

11. He may as well

What are we going to do? Appeal to SCOTUS? Dead end there

[Garrett78]

12. Even if they are reunited, they will be detained for months or even years.

Even if Judge Gee refuses to modify Flores, this evil administration is convinced it has the right to detain indefinitely.

15. ugh.....

[mythology]

16. In fairness, given their incompetence

It may not be intentional simply because they didn't think to keep track of where the kids and parents are. Granted incompetence on that scale is terrifying, but I could easily see it taking a couple of weeks to get some sort of organization in place just to be able to reunite the families.

[spanone]

17. I refuse to grant them any 'fairness'. they lost that long ago.

imho

18. Not keeping track of the children was intentional as well.

They put a gag order on the foster homes that were receiving the children.
