"Judge Nunley stated, 'The Court is not a rubber stamp for the government’s actions. When the government fails to comply with court orders, it undermines the rule of law and the rights of individuals.'"
"In his order, Nunley noted, 'The attorney's claim of being overwhelmed by work does not excuse the failure to comply with the Court's directives, especially when lives are at stake.'"
Judge Troy Nunley imposed a $250 fine on DOJ attorney Jonathan Yu for not complying with his order to release a detained immigrant. Nunley expressed frustration over the attorney's workload, which included over 300 similar cases in three months. Many detainees are longtime U.S. residents facing deportation after routine check-ins. The legal process has shifted, requiring habeas corpus petitions for release, overwhelming federal courts with emergency suits. Nunley criticized Yu for not adequately addressing the situation, leaving individuals unlawfully detained.
