Oh neat. Nothing a little FOIA Can't remedy.
Your name is required to be printed on the court's reported meeting minutes. Its our tax dollars at work 😁
I mean shit. The support person DMing their coworker in Slack about the judges inability to use zoom is documented and FOIAable. You can't hide in the courtroom.
- Also, Cosette Shachnow (the attorney here who attempted to hide her identity) left it on her LinkedIn that she works for ICE. We can't always count on them to be that stupid, but critical thinking really doesn't come naturally to Nazis.
  
  Damn that's one eastern Europe Jewish last name if I ever saw one. "Never again" and all that. Hypocritical as usual.
- I'm unsure if this falls under the purview and rules of a courtroom. ICE has their own laws: None.
  
  Immigration court is court.
  
  Not entirely. Immigration courts and judges are run by the Chief Immigration Judge who is appointed by the Attorney General who works under the Executive branch. They are not part of the Judicial branch.
  Immigration Court is formally known as the Executive Office of Immigration Review. This is a department within the Department of Justice. Immigration Judges are appointment by the Attorney General and are not federal judicial branch judges.
  Trump has in fact ordered the immigration judges to dismiss immigration cases as soon as the lawyers them to so ICE can arrest people more quickly, and they are doing it. Well, the ones he hasn't already fired are doing it.
  Trump has his own private police force and court system.
  
  That really has nothing to do with the fact that immigration court is, as I said, court.
  And meeting minutes are logged and FOIA-able.
  Not sure what you're going on about.
