@Nonilex
Another win against assholes !!
This judge gets it. Any delay is abused by this corrupt administration.
So, this one made a decision and insisted it be actioned immediately, in her presence.
@TCatInReality @Nonilex she had previously ordered them released and ice managed to hold them for another day "just because". She wasn't taking that chance again.
