DOJ is short staffed and has a rising workload. They just sent a signal that no one should grant them a courtesy filling extension because they use that extension as an opportunity to further injure the opposing party instead of working on their briefs.

Not only did a federal judge just order Trump to *immediately* reinstate tens of thousands of fired federal employees across 6 agencies, calling their firings "unlawful" and a "sham."

Today Trump is targeting anti-Israel protesters. But next it will be anyone who dares speak out against him. If this doesn't terrify you, you clearly haven't studied history.
I disagree with many of the anti-Israel protests, especially those that target Jewish spaces, but this is appalling. Deporting people based on their political beliefs is a horrifying slippery slope that will not end well. Jews should not be applauding this.

This is fascism at its core. Trump is making lawyers fear who they take on as clients. This is happening before Trump uses the DOJ and FBI to go after his enemies. At that point, wrongfully targeted people won't be able to get the best representation. I am terrified. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Amy is exactly right. And for any Jews who think a new era of rampant scapegoating will be good for the Jews (or for Israel for that matter), I don’t know what to tell you
As far as I can tell, Khalil has still not been charged & his attorney/family still don’t know where he is.
Any Jew who thinks this is going to start and stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themselves. Our community should not be used as an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law.

The Trump admin is exploiting real concerns about antisemitism to undercut democracy: from gutting education funding to deporting students to attacking diversity, equity, & inclusion.
As we’ve repeatedly said: this makes Jews - & so many others - less safe.

While the Trump Regime is targeting lawyers for conducting themselves ethically, other lawyers are seeking to profiteer by aiding in Trump's assault on the rule of law, as I discussed here.
