A federal judge reprimanded Donald Trump's administration for claiming that an immigrant seeking his release from custody was convicted for marijuana possession in 2009 " when he was 4 years old. To support arguments for the man's ongoing detention and removal from the country, government lawyers attached a document from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they "indicated" was related to his criminal history. They submitted the document in court filings "despite the differences in birthdate, birthplace, parents' names, and immigration status," West Virginia District Judge Irene Berger noted in her order to release him on Tuesday.

Courts are reaching the point where they can no longer trust claims made by the federal government. Trump's corruption of government will result in real criminals walking free because even the few remaining competent prosecutors will be viewed with a greater degree of skepticism from the courts.

Is this because Trump's DOJ is so egregious they started to lie to the courts recently or because they're so incompetent they are screwing up underhandedness that has always been a tool used by DOJ but overlooked by deferent judges?

Start locking up the people that are lying under oath and see how fast it stops.
