Will he toss them all in jail?

Chuck Ross reports in the Daily Caller,
A federal judge in the district court of South Texas has ordered top officials with the Department of Homeland Security — including Secretary Jeh Johnson — to appear in person in his court in Brownsville next month to show why they should not be held in contempt for violating an injunction issued against President Obama’s executive amnesty order.

...Hanen called the Obama administration’s response to his Feb. 16 injunction “unacceptable” and “unprofessional.” He also stated that he is “shocked and surprised at the cavalier attitude the Government has taken” towards it.

At issue is the federal government’s failure to clear up why DHS issued 2,000 work permits to illegal aliens even after the injunction was in place.

Hanen says that the government must answer that question to his satisfaction by the end of the month or else appear in his court on Aug. 19.

“Each individual Defendant must attend and be prepared to show why he or she should not be held in contempt of Court,” Hanen ordered.

The list of defendants includes DHS’ Johnson as well as the heads of Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
