“Federal Judiciary Can Sustain Paid Operations Through Oct. 17 Amid Shutdown
The federal judiciary can maintain paid operations through Oct. 17 despite Congress's failure to pass spending legislation to avert a government shutdown, according to a memo from Judge Robert Conrad, who heads the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. This extended operational period is two weeks longer than a previous estimate. While the judiciary was able to remain fully operational during the 2019 government shutdown, it cited budget constraints in recent years as a reason it cannot do so now. The judiciary's more than 30,000 employees are still expected to receive their paychecks as scheduled on Oct. 10 and Oct. 24. However, if funding runs out after that, employees such as law clerks and probation officers would not be paid, and payments to jurors and court-appointed lawyers for indigent defendants would stop, though judges would still be paid. During a shutdown, courts would continue "essential work," including hearing criminal cases, while civil cases could face delays. Immigration courts, which are run by the Justice Department, would continue to hear cases involving detained migrants.”
Well, obviously, you don’t wanna provide funding for courts dealing with actual alleged criminals….but by all means, you must continue funding courts getting Jose’ and his brown skin brethren out of our country.
