Unlike your example of the IRS, this was not an issue of interpretation of the statutes as to money owed. This was about a little boy. And the Relatives had no standing to act on their own in contradiction to the boy's father and the INS. There was a demand to RETURN the boy by the INS. Again not an issue of interpretation. In fact they were breaking the law by obstructing the process. The case is about a Father's rights to his son. And a son's right to be with his only living parent. The Relatives stood in the way of that and felt that they had standing to prevent that. They did not. A judge apparently agreed and issued a warrant.
