Lies. They lied. Disbar them at the very least.

Court sanctions also seem appropriate. Probably can't get actual perjury, even though they definitely committed perjury, since it'd be a lot of work to show they knew they were lying when they filed those arguments and only admitted the "mistake" when it was going to become obvious they lied.  Anyway, if you're ever on a jury, remember that prosecutors will also lie and misrepresent things, as will law enforcement, if they think they can get away with it.

Immigration courts aren’t real courts, and I’ll hazard a guess the “judges” (as ~~DHS~~ DOJ employees) don’t care. Would probably need to be referred to the state bar by an individual. Edit: I’ve been corrected on which agency but the concern still stands

Kradget Mar 26, 2026 +111
The lawsuit is in federal district court. District court judges have lifetime appointments and in the context of their courtroom, they're generally not to be trifled with. Their word is literally law in there. Attorneys should know better than to play grab-ass in there.
111
templethot Mar 26, 2026 +44
Seems like the allegations are that the attorneys lied in immigration courts, not in District Court (though the lawsuit is in federal district court). They probably thought they could get away with it in the kangaroo courts. Hopefully the district court judge can refer them for discipline.

Lawyer here. The rules of professional conduct include a duty of candor towards the tribunal. That word was chosen very carefully because it encompasses more than just courts—it includes binding arbitrations, legislative bodies, and administrative agencies. So if they knowingly made false statements of fact before the immigration courts and failed to correct them, they could be in hot water.

xhieron Mar 26, 2026 +43
Came to say this and glad it's already here. Also a lawyer, and this is one spot of brilliance in the modern ethical framework for the legal profession. The rules in general don't care what authority you're practicing before. Not being able to quibble about what's a *real court* is kind of the point.

poorest_ferengi Mar 26, 2026 +15
So basically if you are acting in any capacity as a lawyer and make false statements knowingly you're in violation of professional ethical standards and is possible grounds for disciplinary action up to and including disbarment?
15
Kooolxxx Mar 26, 2026 +12
If a person, or their representative, knowingly provides false information or fails to correct misleading information, they may face consequences for Knowingly lying in immigration proceedings can lead to federal criminal charges, which can result in significant fines and imprisonment.

Disbarment is the ultimate sanction. Ensure all of that fancy edjamacation and money spent is for nothing. Also, bar them from any government job or office for life.

hedoeswhathewants Mar 26, 2026 +5
At this point this administration has completely destroyed its ability to get a jury to convict anyone. Which I guess is kind of fortunate.

ThanklessTask Mar 26, 2026 +3
I call it, "economic with the truth." Often not a flat out lie so much as missing points that count against a view, or subtlety using words with dual meaning to confuse and coerce.

lodelljax Mar 26, 2026 +12
The last time I was on jury selection I was excused after I was asked and clearly told them the difference between hearsay evidence, eye witness evidence and how it can be wrong and physical evidence. Not sure who took me off the list defense or prosecution but someone did not like that I actually knew the differences.
12
MagnifyingLens Mar 26, 2026 +7
I knew a professor who was in jury selection and they asked what he did. He replied "I teach argumentation and debate" and the prosecutor and defense attorney both stood up to dismiss him. Neither wanted a persuasive person on the jury panel that they couldn't predict.
7
Gurlllllllll- Mar 27, 2026 +2
At a certain point I think we just need to do away with jury selection and make it so the first 12 people capable and eligible to serve on the jury are the jury. No dismissing people because they're anti-death penalty on cases where the state is contemplating murdering someone, no dismissing people too knowledgeable about the courts, or people too unsympathetic towards cop testimony. You get the first 12 and that's it.
2
DwinkBexon Mar 26, 2026 +2
For the jury thing, I got a summons for jury duty in 2024 and had to fill out a questionnaire prior to the summons date. One of the questions was something to the effect of: "If you sit on a criminal case, there may be police testimony. You are required by law to unconditionally believe what the police say in testimony. Will you do so?" I put No. The day before I had jury duty, I was informed I no longer had to report. Was it that question that did it? Maybe, if it was a criminal case. But it also could have been the trial I was called for was cancelled or the date moved.
2
akrisd0 Mar 26, 2026 +20
"To the effect of..." is doing some mighty washing of the language there. I have serious doubts they said you're legally required to believe a cop's word. I've been summoned to jury duty as well and my experience was getting released on basically the same question. They asked if I could unbiased listen to a cops testimony if it was just factual representation and not arguing for one side or the other. I told them that I've dealt with the precinct personally and they lie like breathing air, so no.

clashrendar Mar 26, 2026 +131
Their lies hurt people. Their punishment should be at least equal to the pain they inflicted on others and far far more.
131
pfannkuchen89 Mar 26, 2026 +114
Their punishment should far exceed the pain inflicted on others. Using a position of power and authority to commit crimes should carry a much higher penalty.
114
clashrendar Mar 26, 2026 +25
My point was that disbarment wasn't sufficient.

Numerous_Photograph9 Mar 26, 2026 +7
The more things go on, the more I believe that people who abuse office, and go beyond the bounds of their duty within that office, they need to be able to be held personally accountable for their actions. Cops, lawyers, politicians, whatever. Doctors are personally liable for their screw ups and unethical behavior, there's no reason these other people should be bailed out by the taxpayer. Them thinking they won't have to suffer any more consequences than maybe losing a license just enables bad behavior.
7
Lone-Gazebo Mar 26, 2026 +6
Controversial counterpoint. Disbarment is banning someone from ever holding a Career they've invested in. That's a huge punishment. That career is how you feed your family. It's plenty persuasive to prevent this from happening. The reason it's not working is because currently it's very clear that "No one will try to hold me accountable." No matter how serious your charge, when the administration is corrupt, it will be more prevalent. Disbarment is a satisfactory criminal punishment, and they should be eligible for civil suits, for each impacted person to recover damages. That's the law, and that's fair. There's no value in a punishment policy that punishes someone harshly, if it doesn't A: Dissuade people from doing crimes. B: Make the victim whole. C: Protects the public. Losing your job you dedicated your life to getting, and the chance of ever having your job again is Dissuasive enough. Making the Victim whole is the point of civil suits. They should have their immunity stricken for obvious reasons, but that's an unrelated question. The public is no less safe if a crooked lawyer is forced to sell cars for the rest of his life, than if he's in prison. The safety of the public is primarily supported by removing a crooked lawyer, from practicing law crookedly.
6
Fighterhayabusa Mar 26, 2026 +9
Yeah, no. Disbarment is not criminal, and it's the minimum these people should face. What they did is arguably worse than a regular person stealing, for example. There needs to be a punitive aspect as well.

123_fake_name Mar 26, 2026 +6
The lies flow from the top, the whole system is built on a lie from the president down to the ice agents.
6
Lone-Gazebo Mar 26, 2026 +3
Yes? I agree? And all of them should be punished accordingly. We can't Disbar the president because he's not barred. So he should be impeached to protect the public, and fined viciously enough to ensure future fascists stick to running podcasts rather than our country, and to claw back as much of the money he's stolen from the USA as possible.

What a great example of the republican misinterpretation to warp laws to meet their agenda. Nixon ("When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal"), Bush (and gitmo the black hole for which lawyers crafted the legal “justifications” for torture). So why not craft a set of actions so people cannot exercise their rights? I fear those warehouses are not for undocumented people. I fear that anyone who does not toe the line will go missing.

I'll post it once I write it, but I'm just a blue collar dude so it's not going to show any expertise. I'm basically going to parrot what Andrew Weissmann has said about it. He was an Assistant US Attorney for the DOJ and one of the main guys behind prosecuting Paul Manafort.

Man, don't be lazy. Just write one really quick. That way it actually looks organic instead of a copy-pasted comment. It doesn't need to be a magnum opus. But sometimes making your voice heard takes a little bit of effort.

skatastic57 Mar 26, 2026 +3
This is the same agency that has already decided that ICE goons can murder people indiscriminatingly without even a phony investigation and will block Minnesota from doing so. This is not a good faith effort to collect public sentiment. Regardless of the public comments, they'll do what they want. Having comments on record can't hurt but it's kind of like writing All Capone a parking ticket. That said, they didn't get Capone for murder or the like, just taxes. Maybe, one day, this will be the thing that mattered.

diverareyouokay Mar 26, 2026 +56
It also makes more sense now why they’re willing to hire freshly-minted attorneys straight out of law school, the moment they pass the bar. Bring them in before they’ve developed any sort of understanding of what is and isn’t appropriate (excepting what they learned in law school or studying for the MPRE), and you can have them file almost anything you want. Not *well*, but in many cases it doesn’t have to be, since most people facing federal charges (especially immigration-related charges) can’t afford to mount a meaningful defense. And I say that as a US lawyer.

They are trying to have "plausible deniability" by saying they never actually authorized what they wanted their people to do. It's insane that they might actually get away with it. I really hope they don't, but knowing the current state, the Supreme Court's just gonna be "6-3/5-4 he's not above the law except for this very specific situation he is" for the hundredth time.

NotASaintBernard Mar 27, 2026 +2
Which is wild because it’s not like they didn’t know it was happening for the last f****** year. The DOJ knew about it and didn’t stop it. It’s not a small error that happened once. Is it possible for them to claim plausible deniability since it was widespread news?

Law and order for conservatives always means protecting the in-group from out-group. They never waver in this. They also believe that any laws that stop the in-group” from exploiting the out-group is government overreach. Once you see the pattern a lot of conservative apparent hypocrisy makes sense.

The idea is to make it a class action so big that it gets settled in court without the participants of the class being able to get anything out of it. And the recent rulings have limited the ability to form a class action, so everyone would need to seek justice independently.

Rudy Giuliani was permanently disbarred and he wasn't just some no-name attorney. He went from someone praised for taking down the Mafia to an utter disgrace in his profession. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the whole anti-Mafia bit was just done on the behalf of the Russian Mob. Most of Trump's crony lawyers from his first term didn't fare very well. We also shouldn't lower expectations. What makes people mad enough to demand change isn't just things being bad but a gulf between what is and what they expect. Lowering expectations just makes it easier for them to get away with it.

TheWalrus_15 Mar 26, 2026 +5
The Giuliani case goes me hope for sure. Although his misconduct went on for a long time and was vary blatant. But hopefully reason prevails.

Remember this when they justify putting ICE agents at the polls this November. They’ll say, “well if only citizens can vote, and illegals voting illegally isn’t a real problem; you’ll have no objection to ICE at the polls?” Except when ICE targets you, it doesn’t matter if you have your paperwork on you. They’ll say that passport is fake and detain you. And then after 72 hours let you go saying “I guess it wasn’t fake, move along”. ICE has been arresting brown US citizens left and right. Even ones with their passports and birth certificates on them when they’re arrested.

>Lawyers for ICE provided false information to justify arresting and detaining thousands of people who had attended immigration courts, according to newly filed court documents. So... 1. They didn't know they were breaking the law. ***or*** 2. The ***DID*** know and just wanted to express their complete and utter contempt for the American people by literally saying "The f*** are you gong to do about it? Get mad?"

Deport those lying attorneys and do it the same way the Trump regime does, by sending them to some 3rd world country they made a deal with.

When are there going to be repercussions from state BARs? There probably won't be. I mean judge applicants just straight up lied to congress and there was no consequence.

The good news is that whenever Democrats are able to wrestle back the government, they don't have to even pretend to give a single f*** about the Republicans whining about "bipartisanship" or "government overreach" or "rule of law" or "weaponizig the government" or "inflation" or "transparency" or any of that c***. They can just point to all of this bullshit they're readily allowing and tell them to sit the f*** down and shut the f*** up.

Well, let's hope they actually point it out instead of what Schumer and Jefferies usually do.

You would think but if recent history has proven anything, it's that Democrats will still try to make it work with the other side for some god forsaken reason.

>they don't have to even pretend to give a single f*** about the Republicans whining about "bipartisanship" or "government overreach" or "rule of law" or "weaponizig the government" or "inflation" or "transparency". And yet they will be more concerned with bending over backwards to avoid those bullshit criticisms than they will be with addressing or avoiding **legitimate** criticisms from anyone to their left. As always.

Stuff like this is coming out every day and people always want to cry stuff like "Disbar them all!" or "Arrest them!" or whatever. Which is a fair request, except it's not going to happen.  The ones in charge of enforcing justice are complicit. All the way down.  The question you need to ask yourself is, if the official channels for justice are blocked by corruption, do you keep crying "Disbar them!" despite knowing that won't happen... Or are you yourself willing to take action to make sure justice finds those people? The enemies of justice will not slow down until some fear is put in them. Real, mortal fear. Make them fear for their lives. Make them hesitate on decisions that will piss off the general population. Show them there are still consequences.

So this is the point where every single person kidnapped under these false pretenses is instantly released and returned to the US, right? Riiiiiiiight....? Yeah didn't think so.

Unable_Resort_7956 Mar 26, 2026 +3
The biggest problem we have, though, is that even when we can prove wrongdoing throughout this administration's levels, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. What's the point to the law if it's not enforceable? They know they can break the law and get away with it. Open criminality fostering misery, r***, and death...and nobody who would actually penalize the perps do a damned thing. This whole admin is the most corrupt organization that's ever existed. The mob would blush.

Giving false sworn testimony, written or otherwise, is a major crime. Disbarment is just the cherry on top of the 10 year or so sentence for these b*ds.

>“According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year—not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors—about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts,” Lander wrote on X Wednesday. The nazis don't make up the laws so it's insane the courts went along with what they claimed, rather than see actual laws passed by congress, not some guidance some nazi ahole dictated. What a joke of a country and system. *** Something is rotten, They work for We The People, But lie to us all

Justice would mean these lawyers are disbarred at a minimum, and criminally prosecuted for the tremendous harm that they have caused. But we are living in a post Justice, post democracy America. And Pam Bondi is in charge of the DOJ. She’s too busy protecting pedophiles to be bothered.

ZenRage Mar 26, 2026 +2
Considering the breadth of the falsehoods that is STRONG evidence if not proof of systemic failure of due care and might be grounds to find willful indifference to their duty of care and candor to the court. Move to DISMISS every single case related to ICE and demand lawyers personally certify refiling.

QuillQuickcard Mar 26, 2026 +2
Disbar. Arrest. Convict. And let every cowardly traitor rot in prison where they belong. Convict the administration of crimes against humanity and let them receive the consequences they are due

Ya, and? the damage is done, people were imprisoned and deported now some lawyers *might* get a slap on the wrist 5 yrs from now. Seems like mission accomplished for ICE

Let me guess. Fines paid by the taxpayer? Slaps on the wrist? This calls for Disbarment, prison, trial, and ultimately a term that coincides with it being treasonous.

To everyone calling for them to be disbarred, that is not far enough. How have we gotten to the point where we no longer seek justice (even when it is obviously unlikely) and just look to stop seeing harm done? Why do people think it is okay to just put a stop to abuses, rather than punish the abusers? F****** sad, y'all.
