This is a frightening sign of decay in our institution-a fedl judge's order is ignored. The judge gives up. The founders gave us 3 branches of govt, a system of checks & balances. If the judicial & legislative branches no longer check the executive, the republic is lost.

An Iranian student planning to attend Northeastern University was removed from the country overnight Monday in defiance of a court order, his lawyer said, and a federal judge said Monday there was nothing that he could immediately do.
Mohammad Shahab Dehghani Hossein, 24, had been detained by Customs and Border Protection at Logan International Airport since arriving in the US on Sunday. Hosseins lawyers filed an emergency petition to block his removal Monday night, and Judge Allison D. Burroughs ordered a 48-hour stay.
But before that hearing took place, Hossein was flown to France, one of his lawyers, Susan Church, said Tuesday.
Kerry Doyle, one of Hosseins lawyers, called his removal an outrage. ... There seems to be some
At the scheduled hearing Tuesday morning, Judge Richard Stearns said the case was now moot, since the student was already out of the country.
There seems to be some history of CBP ignoring district court orders, which should concern the court, Doyle said during the hearing. She asked that Hossein be returned to the US, but the judge said there was little he could do now that the student was gone.
I dont think theyre going to listen to me," Stearns said.
