Andy McCarthy criticized the Trump administration's decision to deport Venezuelans linked to a terrorist organization, claiming it defied a judicial order. He argued that complying with court orders is essential for the DOJ, despite any grievances against them. McCarthy suggested the administration's actions may be intended to provoke a confrontation with a Democrat-appointed judge, aiming to frame it as Democrats favoring lawbreakers over Americans. He described this approach as a poor legal strategy but noted it might serve short-term political goals for the administration.
"It should go without saying that, at the Justice Department, the rule of the road is that, in the absence of a true emergency, the government complies with judicial orders, even if the orders are patently lawless, until it can get them reversed."
"McCarthy concluded by suggesting that the Trump administration intentionally covets a fight with the judge, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, so the clash could be portrayed as yet another instance of Democrats and Democrat-appointed judges siding with alien lawbreakers over Americans."
