Trump-appointed judge finds DHS in contempt over detainee transfer
Judge Laura M. Provinzino imposed a $500 daily fine on DOJ official Isihara until immigrant ID documents were returned, highlighting systemic court order compliance issues amid rising immigration cases.
- Wednesday's hearing saw Judge Provinzino find Matthew Isihara in civil contempt and order a $500-per-day sanction until the detainee’s documents were returned.

- Legal experts noted that federal judges nationwide have issued at least 35 show-cause orders since August, emphasizing the goal of `100% compliance with judicial orders` to prevent disobedience and radio silence from the government.
