1. A $500 per day fine is a fate worse than jail for a government lawyer.

4. I bet he never pays a penny out of his pocket. They need to face disbarment.

2. This is the first I've heard of punishment handed to those who are ignoring court orders.

I hope there will be a lot more.

8. The lower courts have signaled they're fed up with the lies and the willingness...

...to disregard their orders. If the Supreme Court wasn't bought and paid for, the Trump Cabal would be under control.

12. It is long overdue

No other attorney could get away with the crap that the White House/DOJ attorneys have for over a year.

3. So what? Are there any consequences? Is disbarment a possibility?

[moonshinegnomie]

6. if someone were to file a complaint with the bat association it could be...

but i doubt it,at least for this.

5. These lawyers that fail to comply seem afraid to do what the judge orders

which means they are instructed by higher ups to misbehave?

[Deuxcents]

7. Seems that way because there's rarely a judge to handle it like this..if they all did, it'd be a different story

9. "A JAG attorney from the Departmrnt of Defense"-

There is no department of war.

So, to speed things up, Hegseth allowed military JAG officers to go represent the U.S. in deportation proceedings? They really seems to violate separation of military and civil law enforcement. It’s wrong.

10. Department of What?

11. Put the rank-and-file in jail

Top dogs never go to jail
A $500 fine? Pffft! Some billionaire will cover that.

But if serfs and minions go to jail for saying no to the judge, fewer people will say no.

A Minnesota judge found one of the dumbass lawyers at the DOJ in civil contempt, fining them $500/day until they follow the fucking law.

According to the ruling, by Judge Laura M. Provinzino of Federal District Court in Minnesota, the government failed to return “identification documents” belonging to Rigoberto Soto Jimenez, a detained immigrant whom she had ordered to be released with all of his property returned.

The judge ordered a $500 daily fine imposed on Matthew Isihara, an administration lawyer, for each day the documents are not returned, beginning on Friday.

The government’s lack of respect for court rulings stemming from such petitions has been raised by judges in the District of Minnesota, where the chief judge compiled a list of nearly 100 violations of court orders in habeas cases since Jan. 1, and in New Jersey, where the Justice Department admitted 52 violations since Dec. 5.
