A federal judge today ordered that federal prosecutors tell him why Customs agents at Logan Airport decided to detain a Providence doctor with an H1-B visa, held her at the airport and then shipped her out of the country on Friday before she could even make the case to stay.

What authority does a judge have if they don’t listen to them?

What a joke. Judges, unless they’re Trumps minions, have zero authority.

Damn, I was hoping they could put out a bounty or something.

I've heard they can deputize citizens to carry out the law if necessary.
