A judge with a penchant for magic signaled he could pull contempt proceedings out of his hat, dressing down the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for sleights of hand about the "disturbing" detention of a Jamaican man in a "hold room" inside a federal courthouse on Long Island.

U.S. District Judge Gary Brown, appointed to the bench for life by President Donald Trump in 2019 following his eight years as a U.S. magistrate judge in the Eastern District of New York, said at the start of his ruling that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, an agency within Secretary Kristi Noem's DHS, submitted "sworn evidence" supported by "rank hearsay and demonstrably false statements," "ignored at least three court directives," and "blatantly refused to comply with a court order" in the habeas corpus case of Erron Anthony Clarke.

Clarke is a noncitizen from Jamaica who in 2018 legally entered the U.S. for work but overstayed his visa, and then married a U.S. citizen in 2023 — "which may entitle him to permanent residency in the United States," a status he had applied for, according to court documents.

In fact, documents said, Clarke "truthfully" volunteered to DHS that he had overstayed his visa while his wife sponsored his permanent resident status application in early November. As part of the application, he was subsequently issued a "Biometrics Notice" to appear on Dec. 5 in Hauppauge to be fingerprinted, and ICE arrested him a short time later that same day, the judge added.

1. Enough with judges' rebukes and threats of contempt for indefensible transgressions, throw these ICE goons in jail.

[Bluetus]

5. "One of these days, you are going to push me too far ..."

"And boy will you be sorry? Yep, you are really skating on thin ice. One of these days ..."

Empty threats only embolden the perps.

2. The ICE Gestapo...

... has been allowed to get away with this evil shit for FAR too long. It's way past time to start throwing these assholes in the slammer for their crimes. Then start proceedings against "Puppy Killer" Noem and "Nosferatu" Miller. These two sewer rats cannot be allowed to walk away unscathed.
And the rest of the scumbags, like Homan, et al. will see the writing on the wall, go foo-foo in their tutus, and lawyer up. Not that it'll do 'em any good.

4. Anyone go to jail?

6. ICE needs a complete rework and a refocus done to only arrest and deport people convicted of major felonies.

Hopefully this will happen once we get a majority of the House and Senate along with a Democratic back into the Whitehouse.

7. The whole DHS needs reworking. It is a behemoth agency with little accountability.

Combining several agencies after 9/11, DHS has become the second largest employer after the military. Under Trump, it seems to have become his private police force.
