Surprise: Appeals Court Overturns Judge’s Order On Restricting Use Of Force By Immigration Enforcement

Judge Sara thinks she runs the Executive Branch. She’s already required ICE and CBP to wear body cams (which they only have a limited supply of). She’s Demanded on several occasions that they restrict their use of force against people assaulting federal agents. As I wrote back on 11/7

As usual, moonbat judges are high on feelings and short on law. What will happen is that the Trump admin will appeal, and there’s about a 90% chance the appeals court will say that Judge Sara has vastly exceeded her authority.

And now

Appeals court blocks judge’s order restricting use of force during federal immigration crackdown in Chicago

A US appeals court has temporarily blocked an order curtailing federal immigration enforcement in Chicago, arguing the lower court judge overstepped when she imposed strict and wide-reaching restraints on how agents can interact with protesters and journalists.

A three-judge panel for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday granted the Trump administration’s emergency request to pause the order issued by US District Court Judge Sara Ellis earlier this month.

In an incremental victory for the Trump administration, the appeals panel concluded Ellis’s order was “too prescriptive,” writing in their decision that she is “impermissibly infringing” on the separation of powers between the executive branch and the courts. (snip)

The judge also ordered the government to turn over extensive use-of-force records and other internal records.

But the appeals panel criticized the scope of Ellis’ order, saying it is so detailed it “resembled federal regulation.” They wrote that the order is so sweeping, it applies to almost any law enforcement personnel within the executive branch.

Huh. Now, it’s a temporary pause on Judge Sara’s order to adjudicate it all, but, the appeals court is also noting that the Chicago operations are winding down, so, the plaintiffs might not have standing, and that Judge Sara is an activist idiot.
