ABC News reports, quote, many of those employees sat in her courtroom Friday and several broke into tears following the hearing. The judge in this case has also set a hearing for a week and a half from now, April 28th.

She says she wants testimony from at least one Trump administration official and potentially one member of Doge about what they tried to do here with trying to fire the whole agency.

She says she's basically going to get to the bottom of whether they've violated her court order with this attempt to fire these people, which, again, they did not get away with, which she blocked and which they now have to answer for as potentially having violated a lawful court order. Like I said, those CFPB employees are feisty. Every time there's a court hearing, they are filling the gallery.

Every time there is anything going on with their agency, every single thing that they have tried to shiv that agency with, they have not only fought back, but they have shown up in person. And it matters, and it is working, and they are still there hanging on. There is no shortage of fight in no shortage of people for no shortage of things that Trump is doing.

But one issue in particular keeps rising to the top. And it's because of the extremism of what Trump is doing specifically to immigrants. And it is just lighting up the country right now. We've been covering this all this week in particular, but it really is every day. In Washtenaw County, Michigan this week, Local residents packed into a county commissioner's meeting. They filled up the room.

They filled up the overflow room. They filled up the hallway outside of both after the Trump administration threatened that county and demanded that that county needed to effectively inform to the Trump administration on local residents and even on county employees, presumably so people could be targeted by Trump's immigration agents.

The county is showing no signs of budging on that, and the community is backing them up on it. They packed this hearing. You can see this headline in the local news and MLive here. Quote, residents make emotional pleas to support immigrants as feds demand information. Residents packed a meeting of Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners to express support for the immigrant community.

Quote, we do not want you to cave from the pressure you are under. This video, you will remember this video. It is likely seared in your mind already. This was a doctoral student from Tufts University being grabbed off the street by Trump's masked agents, screaming in fear as they grabbed her hands and chained her and put her in an unmarked vehicle. Her name is Ramesa Ozturk.

She was a Fulbright scholar and a PhD student. She's here in this country on a student visa. She has been in an immigration prison in Louisiana since she was grabbed off the street by agents. But today, a federal judge ordered that she must be flown out of Louisiana. She must be flown back to New England, specifically to Vermont, so she can attend a court hearing there in person about her case.

A federal judge in Vermont ordered that she must be brought back to New England by May 1st. Her hearing is May 9th. Today in Boston, a different federal judge issued an injunction that blocks Trump from deporting people to random third countries to which they have no relationship and to which no court has ordered them to be sent.

At least not without giving that person a chance to make the case that they might be in danger if they were sent there. And I'm not going to read you the whole thing. I know it's my want to read court rulings at length. I'm just going to read you just a paragraph from this ruling. But this is one of those rulings. You can almost feel like it might be written in all capital letters.
