That explanation was not enough for Judge Laura M. Provinzino of the Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota. #Last Wednesday, she found Mr. Isihara in civil #contempt of court.

Legal experts said her ruling marked the first time during Trump’s second term that a judge had attempted to assert authority by issuing a civil contempt ruling, which enforces a judicial order by imposing a penalty until the offending party complies.

“I don’t think there was ever any intention to defy the court orders,” said the lawyer, Matthew Isihara, a military judge advocate [ #JAG] on temporary assignment to the Justice Department. “We were doing our best & things, unfortunately, slipped — slipped through the cracks.”
