The U.S. Department of Justice is trying to impose penalties against a lawyer who tried to stop the deportation of his client.
This move suggests the Trump administration is stepping up its efforts to carry out large-scale deportations. The request for sanctions against California-based attorney Joshua Schroeder is seen by many as a direct result of a presidential order signed in March. That order focused on immigration attorneys for what the administration claims are “pointless, unreasonable, or harassing” lawsuits.
