    hamas supporters are a**holes.

    but for someone like you who defended the 1/6 insurrectionists and said they were hostages being held in gulags to post a tweet like this is pretty f***ing hypocritical.

    Doctor and Professor Is Deported to Lebanon Despite a Judge’s Order

    Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist and Brown University professor who had a valid visa, was expelled in apparent defiance of a court order.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/us/brown-university-rasha-alawieh-professor-deported.html

    Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, a Lebanese citizen who had traveled to Lebanon last month to visit relatives, was detained on Thursday when she returned to the United States, according to a court complaint filed by her cousin Yara Chehab.

    Judge Leo T. Sorokin of the Federal District Court in Massachusetts ordered the government on Friday evening to provide the court with 48 hours’ notice before deporting Dr. Alawieh. But she was put on a flight to Paris, presumably on her way to Lebanon.

    In a second order filed Sunday morning, the judge said there was reason to believe U.S. Customs and Border Protection had willfully disobeyed his previous order to give the court notice before expelling the doctor. He said he had followed “common practice in this district as it has been for years,” and ordered the federal agency to respond to what he called “serious allegations.”

    Thomas Brown, a lawyer representing Dr. Alawieh and her employer, Brown Medicine, said that while the doctor was in Lebanon, the U.S. consulate issued her an H-1B visa, which allows highly skilled foreign citizens to live and work in the United States. Brown Medicine, a nonprofit medical practice, had sponsored her application for the visa.

    According to Ms. Chehab’s complaint, when Dr. Alawieh landed at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday, she was detained by Customs and Border Protection officers and held at the airport for 36 hours, for reasons that are unclear.

    Ms. Saunders said in an affidavit that she went to the airport Friday and notified Customs and Border Protection officials there — before the flight to Paris was scheduled to depart — that there was a court order barring the doctor’s expulsion. She said that the officers there took no action and gave her no information until after the plane had taken off.

    There is a shortage of American doctors working in Dr. Alawieh’s area of specialty: organ transplants. The field is known for grueling, unpredictable work hours.

    The judiciary has no army and no bank account to enforce their rulings. All they have is their reputation, and they are destroying it because they hate Trump.

    You say that like it's a failing of the court. The executive branch has a constitutional duty to ensure the courts' orders are enforced. It's not to do it because they respect the wisdom of the courts but because they have an obligation. These little violations of Trump's constitutional duties are just a few more nails in the coffin of our republic.

    When the government starts ignoring its own laws the only recourse we have is violence.

    This is the core reason I did not vote for Trump despite having many more personal reasons to vote for him.

    When the bullets start flying, I don't want to have to swallow the fact that I voted for an administration that said "why don't you make me" when confronted with laws that curtailed their desires.

    Nope.

    It is colonizing and it is happening as we speak.

    Let me know when the Assyrians get their homeland back or any number of other former nation-states.

    Looks like it has begun, with blatant defiance of court orders. Years ago, I asked a Trump voter when they thought he would go too far. Their answer was that it would be when he started defying court orders.



    The U.S. could be headed for a constitutional crisis as officials in the Trump administration, as well as the president, have made statements raising concerns over whether they'll abide by judicial orders.

    "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think," said Homan, whose official title is executive associate director for enforcement and removal operations.

    "I'm just doing what the voters wanted me to do," said Trump. "This judge, like many of the crooked judges I am forced to appear before, should be impeached!!!"

    ....

    "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision," Roberts said in a statement issued by the court. "The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

    They have made similar arguments on other issues since mid way through Trump's first term and they have only accelerated since.

    The argument essentially is that the President can do whatever he wants as President - because he says so.
