The federal government is working to secure a charter flight to return a man who was removed from the U.S. back to America so he can have proper due process proceedings, the Justice Department said in court documents filed Wednesday.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy ordered the man, only known by the initials O.C.G., to be returned to the United States after he found that necessary due process steps in his removal proceedings were “ignored” by the Trump administration.
O.C.G.'s attorneys argued that he has no criminal history and sought asylum in the United States after multiple violent attacks against him in his native country of Guatemala.
…especially once the judge has issued an order and they willfully ignore it.
That’s contempt of court. Is there an upper limit, or can the judge in question hold (jail) someone in contempt, conceivably, until the order to return the person has been fulfilled?
Why can’t they jail the officers, drivers, pilots, attendants, mechanics, etc, for contempt until such time as the order by the judge has been fulfilled?
