Cheeky Justice Department motion tells federal deportation judge to be ‘more respectful’

The Court has no basis to intrude into the conduct of foreign affairs of the Government, and a more deliberative and respectful approach is warranted,

Not only are they usurping the will of the president and the chief executive of our country, but they are undermining the will of the American public,

Leavitt said at a daily briefing

We need 60 senators to impeach the judges and restore rule of the people,

Musk said, misstating the process and the actual number of senators required - 67

Well, that's a presidential job,

Trump said

As the Supreme Court has made crystal clear, the proper recourse for a party subject to an injunction it believes is legally flawed ... is appellate review, not disobedience,

he said

But many people have called for (Boasberg's) impeachment,

he said

I cannot believe this judge is playing this game out further and even giving them yet again until tomorrow to decide whether they want to comply,

Trump is dusting off a 200-year-old law to terrorize immigrant communities. This is exactly why we need to pass my Neighbors Not Enemies Act to repeal this outdated law and stop its use as a weapon against immigrants just because of where they're from."

The Court has now spent more time trying to ferret out information about the Government's flight schedules and relations with foreign countries than it did in investigating the facts before certifying the class action in this case. That observation reflects how upside-down this case has become, as digressive micromanagement has outweighed consideration of the case's legal issues."

The DOJ's filing on Wednesday called out the court, saying in part

I thought an important point in the briefing was Karoline Leavitt trying to place all of the lawsuits that the Trump Administration is facing, I don’t know how many there are right now, she tried to place them all as a continuation of the lawfare that President Trump experienced both when he was in office the first time, his four years out of office, and now as president again,

York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, said on Fox News’s America Reports

And it's very, very clear that this is an activist judge who is trying to usurp the president's authority,

Leavitt continued

This is a clear-concerted effort by leftists who don't like this president and are trying to impose or slow down his agenda,

Leavitt said

This judge cannot, does not have that authority,

Leavitt said

We don't have any flights planned specifically, but we will continue with the mass deportations,

Leavitt told reporters of the White House's efforts beyond the legal case in question

If a President doesn't have the right to throw murderers, and other criminals, out of our Country because a Radical Left Lunatic Judge wants to assume the role of President, then our Country is in very big trouble, and destined to fail!"

I would like to point out that the judges in this country are acting erroneously,

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Wednesday news briefing

We’re not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think.”

And on Tuesday, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said

In support of that assertion, the Government reiterates its arguments that the [temporary restraining orders] were lawfully defective,

he wrote

The Judicial and Executive Branches are co-equal, and the Court's continued intrusions into executive prerogatives should end,

You shall inform your clients of this immediately, and that any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States,

Boasberg told the government’s lawyer
