Abbe Lowell and his folks could probably easily get admitted to practice in the District of Minnesota but they are just getting admitted pro hac vice "for this occasion" only and associating with Thompson, who almost certainly knows the judge and other key players.

To explain: When you come in from out of state to represent someone, you have to get a local counsel to sponsor you in "Pro Hac Vice." That's what Abbe Lowell et al are doing for Don Lemon.
The guy who is sponsoring them in is the lead prosecutor who quit bc Pam Bondi is so corrupt.

I mean whether you play a child music and give him food has nothing to do with whether you did or did not abduct him! “Well ma’am, these people took your kid from the grocery store and moved him across the country but I have good news: they gave him fries and Netflix, so he *wasn’t* abducted.”

Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.
He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

Everyone here has had to decide what they will and won’t do. Will you take someone in your house? Will you bring them groceries? Will you patrol streets with a whistle? Will you do some other kind of work, of which there are many. And how many of these types.

The issue here was the the government has lost the argument made here literally hundreds of times, and they just didn't mention the losses in their briefing.
The response: well, neither the 11th Cir. nor SCOTUS has ruled so we just went with it.
I don't think this is going to satisfy the judge.

UPDATE: the US Attorney and the AUSA have responded to the order to show cause.
They defiantly state that there was no controlling authority in the 11th Cir. or SCOTUS, and that they did not intend to misrepresent "the present state of the law or seek to mislead the Court."
