Once you summon enough cynicism to look past the weight of constantly being at crisis, the bumblings of this administration scream humor at every turn. The specter of hantavirus haunts us and worm for brains who walks in airplane bathrooms barefoot and is the head of our Health and Human Services. Melania can’t even make it though a short speech without laughing at the idea that her husband is a empathetic man who gives a damn about the soldiers he sends to die:
Rather than replace the idiots in power with people who aren’t incompetent drunks (I’ll leave it to you to guess if I’m referring to Kash Patel or Pete Hegseth), the administration is doing its damnedest to muck the waters by pulling a “No U” about people poorly doing their jobs, even if they have to manufacture it. Rhode Island federal judge Melissa R. DuBose became clickbait for releasing an immigrant who was wanted for murder in the Dominican Republic. What further proof do you need that these Biden-appointed judges are soft on crime and hate America? Well, the DOJ made the happy accident of omitting that he was wanted for murder when they had the chance to. Now she’s looking to discipline the lawyer who put the community in danger by helping a murder suspect get released. ABA Journal has coverage:
On April 28, DuBose had granted [Brian] Gomez release, ordering that he appear before an immigration judge for a bond hearing.
But in an April 30 press release, Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis characterized DuBose as an “activist judge” who had “released this wanted murderer back into American communities” and was “trying to thwart President [Donald] Trump’s mandate from the American people to remove criminal illegal aliens.”
DuBose called the press release “completely erroneous,” inflammatory and dangerous.
In a hearing Monday, DuBose called the decision to withhold information “a serious breakdown in the ethical codes.”
No shit.
If you have to rely on sowing discord for your media wins, run a better program. “Violent Illegal Alien Wanted For Murder Sent Back To Shithole Country” would have riled the fan base just as much without needing to do the damage control of “We know they messed up because we lied, but Biden amiright?!” Expect a series of can kicking when it comes to responsibility. The attorney who omitted the facts, Kevin Bolan, said that he was barred from sharing the truth because ICE told him he couldn’t mention pending charges from outside the US.
ICE is now bound to follow rules? Maybe there is a silver lining in all of this.
