And it's just, it's very ballsy for a A judge to say, hey, leave the country, and oh, by the way, I'm a neutral arbiter?
Yeah, it's absurd. I mean, it's such a violation of due process rights, and I know everybody in this country now knows the importance of due process, whereas before, only attorneys threw that term around. But no, I mean, this stuff really matters, you know? Yeah.

And then also another thing that happened in Primrose's case is that when you have a work permit clock, right, which is another absurd thing for asylees, that once they file their asylum application, they have to wait 150 days before they can apply for a work permit. And of course, they're expected to be independently wealthy during those five months or, you know.

So if you do something like try to change venue or a motion to continue, if you do something in your case that the judge perceives as not moving the case along and rather like kind of trying to stall it or possibly pausing it or slow it down, the judge will stop the work permit clock, the days, and it's a whole thing. So Primrose's was stopped because the judge wanted her to get an attorney.

So usually when the case is set for a final hearing, that code, adjournment code, they call it, I know from, we have the access to the codes and what stops the clock and what doesn't. And it always restarts the clock because you moved your case along because you're setting it for trial. It's obviously moving your case along. Hers was not restarted. for whatever reason.

And my only remedy would be to write some court administrator who may or may not ever respond. I can't even go to the judge about this. You know, it's absurd. So that's just the situation that one asylum seeker is dealing with in Texas. So you can only imagine what goes on in detentions, you know, detained cases in those states.

A hundred percent. A hundred percent. And there's no legal basis for the judge to be issuing that. In fact, it's completely unlawful to be issuing something like that at the beginning of the case. At the end of the case and at the beginning, the judge does have to give certain advisals. But telling somebody to self-deport is never an advisal that should be given under the law ever.
