Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

NEW: Judge Casper forbids the government from deporting Rümeysa Öztürk from the US for now storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ORDER
CASPER, J.
March 28, 2025
The Court notes that Petitioner Rumeysa Ozturk ("Ozturk") filed an Amended Petition
and Complaint today, D. 12. Given the parties' apparent dispute regarding this Court's jurisdiction over the matter, D. 12 I 6-7 (asserting that this Court has subject matter jurisdiction); D. 9 at 1 n.1 (suggesting grounds for a dispute regarding same), and given that a federal court retains jurisdiction to maintain the status quo while it determines its subject
matter jurisdiction, Brownback v. King, 592 U.S. 209, 218-19 (2021) (quoting United States v.
Ruiz, 536 U.S. 622, 628 (2002)); United States v. United Mine Workers of Am., 330 U.S. 258, 293 (1947) (concluding that the district court "had the power to preserve existing conditions while it was determining its own authority to grant injunctive relief"); see, e.g., Belbacha v. Bush, 520
F.3d 452, 456 (D.C. Cir. 2008) (invoking the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, and noting that if a case presents a "substantial jurisdictional question ... a district court may act to preserve its jurisdiction while it determines whether it has jurisdiction"), the Court ORDERS as follows:

1. To allow the Court's resolution of its jurisdiction to decide the Petition, Ozturk shall not
be removed from the United States until further Order of this Court. See Mahmoud
Khalil v. Joyce, No. 25-cv-01935-JMF at ECF No. 9, 2025 WL 750599 (S.D.N.Y.
Mar. 10, 2025) (ruling that "[to preserve the Court's jurisdiction pending a ruling
on the petition, Petitioner shall not be removed from the United States unless and
until the Court orders otherwise"); and
2. The Respondents have until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, to respond to the
Amended Petition and Complaint, D. 12.
So Ordered.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Here's @bluestein.bsky.social's uncensored thread of the town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), in which an unhappy audience pushes back against DOGE cuts: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18927...

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE
