General Discussion

The judges in this district realize that the lawyers in the US Attorneys' Office haven't been able to keep up with the work created by the violence and overreach of 3,000 ICE agents kidnapping people off the street without due process, and for that reason they haven't in most cases cited the individual AUSAs, many of whom have now actually quit. I think this judge was clearly aiming his threat at the boss, Daniel Rosen (a recent appointee as US Attorney and apparently a Trump toady), and maybe higher up the ladder. There's no point in filing contempt charges against the rank and file AUSAs, because they can't manage the impossible workload DHS/ICE has dumped on them.

The only way DHS can fix the problem is by turning everyone loose who's filed a habeas petition.
