1. Ugh. I read the order and won't be surprised that Gettleman gets bad news when Bovino shows up at the status hearing

and says they couldn't check off all 15 of Gettleman's orders. Then what.
He rules contempt? Sends inspectors? Then it gets appealed and stopped by the 7th Circuit?
Could one factor be that the 7th Circuit Chief Judge and three others are Trump appointees?
The 7th has already stopped Judge Ellis and taken Bovino's side re ICE street behavior, because ICE being humanitarian isn't a priority for that court as much as allowing ICE to do its "enforcement" job, humane detainee treatment and public safety be damned.

That trump had appointed appeals judges in blue state circuits did come as a surprise, though. Guess I underestimated the federalist society.
