Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

What are they getting for doing this? What are these ICE agents getting for openly defying a judge’s order? They took him knowing the judge was printing the order to stop them.
I can’t take this anymore. This is insanely grotesque.
