Obama-appointed Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida holds Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in contempt of court over enforcing Florida's anti-illegal immigration laws, cooperating with the Trump admin

Uthmeier had said that a prior order from the judge did not apply to law enforcement on halting immigration actions because they were not party to the case.

“Judge Kathleen M. Williams” is probably a screaming democrat in a black robe ...

The Florida AG is almost certainly correct that the State is not bound by the order.

“The Florida AG is almost certainly correct that the State is not bound by the order.”


Agreed. How can you bind a non-party when they haven’t had a chance to argue their position in court? If the AG was going to be bound by any Order, the plaintiff should have included the AG in their complaint.

She’s punishing him for this:

Uthmeier argued that Williams’ order was “wrong” and unlawful because it binds state and local law enforcement agencies — sheriff’s offices, police departments, the Florida Highway Patrol and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement — who are not parties to the suit, aren’t defendants, and “are not invariably in active concert or participation” with the defendants.

“Defendants have no power to control or direct their behavior,” Uthmeier wrote in his brief.

The democrat appointed judges are trying to stop the GOP from enforcing our nation’s laws. Let that sink in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_M._Williams

“In 1984, Williams was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida[1] where she prosecuted more than 50 defendants in over 20 jury trials, including two litigations involving the first Colombian defendants extradited to the United States on money laundering charges and one involving the Ochoa drug cartel. Williams was in this position until 1988.”

“. . .In 1995, Williams became the Federal Public Defender for the Southern District of Florida where she managed and directed the work of 48 Assistant Federal Defenders, 16 investigators, and over 50 support staff. Her responsibilities included all aspects of federal criminal litigation in diverse matters including immigration, narcotics trafficking. . .”

This is exactly the crap the DemonKKKrats have pulled since creating the Confederacy. They and their antiAmerica minions can go pound sand.

I believe that there is even a federal rule of court that requires the State of Florida to be a named party and the Florida Attorney General to be served in any constitutional challenge to a Florida state law.

She, like so many other democrat judges is way outside her area or responsibility. Judges appointed by democrats are not judges at all, but simply democrats in black robes. Neither the Constitution nor the law means anything to them. It is all about pushing the democrat ideology.
