This hearing, it wasn't, though, one of the routine hearings about any of these 90-plus cases.

Judge Jerry Blackwell called this hearing for a very simple but important reason.

We've seen it everywhere.

The federal government is violating court orders, orders to release people, orders to follow procedures, orders with deadlines and actual written orders.

They are not following them.

And so according to the transcript, the judge says the overwhelming majority of the hundreds of individuals seen by this court have been found to be lawfully present as of now in the country.

So it made the judge ask the same question we're asking.

Why?

Why DOJ?

Why DHS?

Are we having these issues where you're not complying with court orders?

So the Department of Justice sends a probationary attorney, Julie Lee, alone.

No supervisors, no senior attorneys.

They're just her.

Nobody with the authority to actually comply with these judges' orders.

And she had to explain the systemic failure of DHS and the DOJ.

And look, when she was questioned, it was clear immediately she doesn't have the answers.

Why?

Because she's not getting answers from above her at all.

And so finally, she just gives up.
