For anyone wondering if the article has anything new to say regarding whether or not the Trump admin will actually listen to this judge: No, it doesn't. This article is largely pointless.

In fact, I'd argue this article is worse than pointless, since it still calls this a "crackdown on illegal immigration," which is blatant lies that no reputable news organization has any business repeating. The last goddamn thing we need right now is the BBC spreading Trump's excuses for what is increasingly becoming literal murder.

Which won't make the slightest bot of difference because the Trump kakistocracy will just keep appealing until it gets to one of the corrupt courts (the Supreme Court if all else fails) who will, as they do, tell whatever lies might serve to rubber-stamp whatever he wants. And then the treasonous insurrectionists will just keep right on indiscriminately disappearing immigrants, legal residents and full citizens whenever they want for whatever reason they want.
