Trump administration live updates: Bondi clashes with Democratic lawmakers in heated questioning on Epstein files

excerpt:

"Bondi tells Johnson 'Your time is up' when asked to apologize to Epstein survivors

Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., reiterated Jayapal's request that Bondi apologize to Epstein survivors. He pointed out how some survivor information was left unredacted in the release of new documents.

"Representative Jayapal asked a simple question, if you would be so kind and honorable as to turn around and face them and apologize to them for outing them," Johnson said.

"How many lives have been derailed because your department was either sloppy and incompetent or willfully trying to intimidate and punish these ladies?" he added as he was cut off by a gavel.

"Your time is up," Bondi replied."

 

Trump administration live updates: Bondi clashes with Democratic lawmakers in heated questioning on Epstein files

excerpt:

"Bondi refuses to say whether Trump suing the IRS violates the Emoluments Clause

In his questioning of Bondi, Raskin referred to Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and Treasury Department for a leak of information about his tax filings to The New York Times.

The ranking member pointed out to Bondi that the Constitution's Emoluments Clause says that the president is limited to his salary in office and can't receive any other money from the federal government while in office.

Raskin noted that the president has repeatedly sued the federal government, including the suit against the IRS and Treasury Department.

"Do you think it would violate the domestic Emoluments Clause for the president to work out a deal from people or his subordinates under his unitary executive theory, to get money in one of these cases?" Raskin asked.

"I'm not going to discuss pending litigation," Bondi said."

 

Bondi was acting like she was the one who is supposed to be controlling the Congressional hearing, issuing orders to members of Congress such as, "You're time is up."

Immigrants slated for deportation by Trump are resorting to filing habeas corpus petitions.


https://www.americanimmigrationcoun...res-what-dhs-secretary-kristi-noem-got-wrong/

excerpt:

"How habeas corpus works

Habeas corpus offers the same protections for anyone residing in the United States, regardless of their citizenship status.

If someone believes they have been unlawfully detained, they can go before a federal judge and ask for the judge to issue a writ of habeas corpus, which is a court order. That order demands that the government—whether federal, state, or local—comes to court and proves that it has the authority to keep that person detained. If the federal judge finds that the government doesn’t have legal grounds to do so, then that person must be set free.

In the immigration context, individuals generally need to have exhausted all other avenues for release before they can file a habeas petition.

But because the Trump administration has expanded mandatory detention, more people in immigration detention aren’t getting access to basic procedures like bond hearings which give them a chance in immigration court to make a case for release. Without the standard chance to make a case for their release, they are forced to file a habeas petition in federal court."

Trump's immigration crackdown is straining federal courts. Judges are raising the alarm

excerpt:

"ATLANTA -- Federal judges around the country are scrambling to address a deluge of lawsuits from immigrants locked up under the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign.

Under past administrations, people with no criminal record could generally request a bond hearing before an immigration judge while their cases wound through immigration court unless they were stopped at the border. President Donald Trump 's White House reversed that policy in favor of mandatory detention.

Immigrants by the thousands have been turning to federal courts by using another legal tool: habeas corpus petitions. While the administration scored a major legal victory Friday, here's a look at how that's affecting federal courts and what some judges have done in response:"
