I agree, but you have to understand the courage it will take to do it. The first judge who does so could end up dead, and maybe their family too. Threats against judges have been dramatically increasing(archive.ph link). Every one of them has to be thinking, if I hit any of these thugs with a contempt charge, my family could be killed. Would you do it? I don't know if I could unless I knew my family were in hiding or surrounded by armed security.

The U.S. Marshals Service investigated 373 separate threats to judges in the first five months of 2025, compared with 509 probes all of last year, according to agency data that U.S. District Judge Esther Salas of New Jersey shared with The Washington Post. The threats targeted 277 judges, some of whom were threatened more than once, compared with 379 judges threatened in all of 2024.

The Marshals Service is also reviewing more than 100 anonymous, unsolicited pizza deliveries to judges and their families in at least seven states and the District of Columbia in recent months — incidents that the judges and investigators see as ominous messages to the recipients that the sender knows who they are and where they live.

Some of the deliveries went to judges handling lawsuits against the Trump administration, The Post has reported. At least 20 deliveries have been made in the name of Salas’s son, Daniel Anderl, who was fatally shot at the family’s home in 2020 by a disgruntled lawyer posing as a delivery person.

Revolutions are rarely bloodless. People need to stand up for their convictions or bend over and take it. There is no in between.

You're not wrong, but it takes tremendous courage to be the first through the door when you know you are likely to die for it.

It sure does. Guess they don't teach about courage any more? People can't live without their phones anymore, never mind and their cozy lives. It's only cozy now though, it's soon not to be, as are your luxuries like gaming consoles and personal phones. That's why they gave them to us, so we'd be too distracted to stop them when the time comes. Here we are...

Can't judges requisition anyone as a Marshal and send them to capture ICE thugs held in contempt? I don't think that will happen but maybe it should.

They do indeed have options, but as I posted, there has been a huge uptick in threats against judges this year including threats against their families. It's not the marshal's or police who would be in real danger arresting an ICE agent. It would be the judge who gave the order. It will take a judge with real courage to issue that order.
