A Trump regime appeal will shoot up to the Roberts Court swiftly, I expect. I have no confidence the Roberts Court will act as a legitimate court so am doubtful they will allow the trial judge’s effort to check the violent, illegal actions of DHS/ICE in Minneapolis. Even if they do allow it, I think this will be another situation where the Trump regime will repeatedly not comply and Roberts Court will do all it can to allow noncompliance. 5/

If it seems to you that all the trial judge did was to restate settled law and tell DHS et al they have to obey the law, you are correct. But when faced with a lawless executive branch, it takes guts for individual trial court judges to make it clear that the executive cannot be trusted to abide by the U.S. Constitution and must be told what the Constitution unquestionably requires. 6/
