🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Remember that Trump and his propagandists tried to gaslight you into believing there was no percentage in taking on this fight, that it was hopeless. And a certain cadre of pundits tried to persuade you that Dems didn't dare discuss this in public.

Still not over yet but a big step forward.
HUGE. Judge Xinis grants the writ of habeas corpus and orders that the government "SHALL release [Kilmar] Abrego Garcia from ICE custody immediately."

The supposed legal justifications for these boat strikes just don't make sense

Even in war you can’t target civilians

Experts across party lines agree: this looks like murder

We need the memo, the full video & an investigation

Went to Monster in the West Village last night & got carded, along with my wife & daughter. Our daughter is 22, so that made sense. We were flattered.

If you don’t know, Monster is the quintessential gay dive bar with live piano player (its own genre in the West Village).

2/ About one week ago, I reached out to Jeff because a client was seeking to help Pedro Eugenio Quispe-Sulcarray, who had been grabbed by ICE as he drove home from work and held without a bail hearing at Orange County Detention Center.

3/ ICE claimed that Mr. Quispe-Sulcarray, who had entered the US in November 2022 and had a confirmed immigration appointment in August 2029, was subject to mandatory detention under Section 1225 as a person who was "seeking entry" into the United States, . . .

Jeff worked with great skill and speed to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

5/5 The case was heard by Judge Valerie Caproni, who was a federal prosecutor and general counsel of the FBI before her appointment to the bench.

Today, on a Sunday (December 7), Judge Caproni ordered the "immediate" release of Mr. Quispe-Sulcarray.

Great work, Jeff!

DOJ should itself a favor and pull the plug on Comey indictment. It’s a loser in several different ways.

Amazing. Grand Jury refuses Administration effort to reindict Tish James. Those events are typically once or twice in a lifetime for prosecutors, or even offices. Now the Administration is racking them up. A complete humiliation.

The DOJ did not submit a complaint against AG Letitia James to a Magistrate Judge for a finding of probable cause, either. They just leaked to the press that they would be indicting today, and now have egg on their face when the grand jury NO BILLed the case.

The Third Circuit has affirmed the district court that Alina Habba is no longer the US Attorney for the District of New Jersey and cannot be delegated the powers of the US Attorney.

It was a 3-0 unanimous opinion.
