City lawmakers filed a lawsuit in April accusing Adams of entering into a “corrupt quid pro quo bargain” with the Trump administration in exchange for the U.S. Justice Department dropping criminal charges against him.

The Judge with the TDS has no standing.

The Judge with the TDS has no standing.“
Yeah we keep hearing that but their rulings stand pending the excruciating appeals trac.
Fine. Then go to there homes and arrest ALL IN THE HOUSE. ADULTS AND KIDS. GET OUT. I am tired of paying for you.
That is pure liberal fantasy and speculation. They might as well have stopped the ICE agents on the theory that the agents may just shoot and kill the prisoners rather than deport them.
Mary Isado…..uh-huh.
….or Rosado. :^)

holding something she clearly hasn’t read, or if she did, understood.
There’s your “No Kings” target. We should co-opt the meme.
Jeez, these agendanista judges make it so easy to stereotype them. I can almost identify them by sight.
Mary Rosado is a “judge”? Geez. Where did she get the authority to pull this crap off. I’ll admit, it’s a good way to protect troublesome family members.
She looks like she’s made more than one trip over the Darien Gap. Each one is good for 150 lbs.
Only reads law books to see what to avoid for the comrades sake.
DNC and media approved.
