The judges, who work for the executive branch, have been instructed to grant dismissals quickly; ICE has been arresting people after their cases are dismissed.

A recent memo to immigration judges obtained by NBC News provides fresh insight into how the Trump administration is pulling off a new tactic — dismissing pending immigration cases, then immediately moving to arrest the immigrants — that is part of its bid to quickly increase the number of immigrants it is detaining.

In the memo, the Justice Department instructs immigration judges, who report to the executive branch and are not part of the independent judiciary, to allow Department of Homeland Security lawyers to make motions to dismiss orally and then move quickly to grant those dismissals, rather than allow immigrants the 10-day response time that had been typical.

“Oral Decisions must be completed within the same hearing slot on the day testimony and arguments are concluded,” says the memo, which is dated May 30. It also tells the judges that “[n]o additional documentation or briefing is required” to grant the dismissals.

        Also, all the Republicans who don’t work for this administration. Not like they just became fascist scum overnight, they’ve been headed this direction since the 60s maybe even since the 30s.

          Before then. The 29 Black Friday wasn’t an unpredictable event, nor the depression or dustbowl.

          Terrorism of citizens is the point so Business Plot 2.0, Great Depression 2.0 and Climate/Environmental Disaster 2.0 will proceed largely unimpeded. Mutual aid, direct action.

    Disgusting. If anyone wasn’t already certain that the, “why can’t they just come here the right way?” people were completely full of shit…

    Here are people attempting to do exactly that.

      That’s always been what that meant. It’s like throwing a party and getting upset that folks come in through your window when you’re only letting one in through the door every two hours.

      Never believe that anti‐ Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.
