Khanna: I’ll break some news — we’re talking with Massie now about getting another major press conference with the survivors early next week at the Capitol. There’s going to be so much momentum, left and right, to say: out with the Epstein class…

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

To understand why this letter is so shady, you have to understand that the family and their lawyers had been in touch with both ICE and the DOJ about this case EXTENSIVELY on April 22-24, meaning ICE knew it was about to be sued.

Only AFTER all of that communication was this note written.
At 9:30pm, the attorney for the father emailed Respondent Field Office Director Mellissa Harper with the family's information, birth certificates, and the properly executed custody by mandate. The attorney requested a legal call. The next day, April 23, 2025, in the morning, the attorney called Respondent Harper to ask about receipt of the email the night before. Respondent Harper refused to honor the request to release V.M.L. to the custodian. She threatened by implication that V.M.L.'s father would be detained and deported if he came to try to pick her up, which would not serve V.M.L.'s best interest or guard her rights as a U.S. citizen. At around 10:30am, the attorney for V.M.L.'s father sent Respondent Harper a follow up email again reiterating the need for a legal call. To this date, the attorney has not heard back from FOD Harper. That same morning, Next Friend Trish Mack learned that V.M.L. had been taken with her mom and sister and began calling ICE NOLA Field Office. The number goes directly to a call center and nobody at the call center was able to connect her with the Field Office. She spoke with up to six people over the course of the day inquiring about the family's whereabouts and in particular checking on their welfare. One person told her they were in a hotel somewhere. She sent an email to the NOLA Fleld Office email inbox at approximately 9:22am and did not receive an individualized response. On April 24, at about 8:39am, the attorney for the father and undersigned counsel sent a letter to Respondent Harper demanding V.M.L.'s release. The email went unanswered. At 9:45am, undersigned counsel emailed the Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Louisiana, the last known location of the family, to indicate readiness to file a habeas and hope that it could be resolved without litigation, which could be unnecessary if we were able to speak with V.M.L.'s mother. Undersigned counsel received a response at 9:58, stating, "T've forwarded your email to our local ICE attorney contacts." Around 10:00am, V.M.L.'s father called ICE again to ask about where he family was and to try to make contact with them. Someone from ICE told him that they were in Washington, D.C. At around 10:38am, undersigned counsel received a response from second AUSA, stating, "I'm actively trying to loop in the Office of Immigration Litigation, as well as get an update from ICE." At around 11:17am, an attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office for Immigration Litigation ("OIL") called the attorney for the father, asking about the facts of the case. The attorney asked for a legal call and for ICE to facilitate a call between V.M.L.'s mother and father. He was not able to agree to that on the call. At 12:46pm, the Eastern District Assistant U.S. Attorney updated that OIL was taking lead on the case, and at 12:54, undersigned counsel responded, "we would certainly want to be in touch with the right person given the urgency of speaking with the child's mother." At around 2:00pm, undersigned counsel and counsel for V.M.L.'s father spoke with OIL attorneys Joseph McCarter and Bichngoc T. Do on the phone and learned that the family was in Alexandria, Louisiana. Counsel reiterated the need for an immediate phone call with V.M.L.'s mother. Mr. McCarter stated that ICE was "open to exploring communication" but had "operational concerns." Counsel asked for their authority for holding someone incommunicado without access to counsel and authority for detaining the child, but Mr. McCarter could not provide either. Mr. McCarter stated that Respondents did not feel the father's "parentage" was sufficiently proven. Counsel pointed to the birth certificate and notarized mandate, which required the father's identity documents, both children's birth certificates, and Next Friend Ms. Mack's ID. Mr. McCarter said this was not sufficient but was not at that time able to say what else would be sufficient. Mr. McCarter did not have a timeline for getting a call set up, or even deciding if they would allow one. Undersigned counsel stated that we would be filing the habeas imminently. At 3:06pm, undersigned counsel received an email from OIL attorney Ms. Do stating, (1) ICE would facilitate a legal call, but it would be in the next 24-48 hours. (2) ICE would not honor the mandate unless V.M.L.'s father showed up in-person with certain documentation. Counsel acted on reliance that a deportation was not planned for 24-48 hours. At 4:03pm, the attorney for V.M.L.'s father responded to that email with her phone number and other information to facilitate the call. She asked about the ability for V.M.L.'s mother to sign documents to formally establish representation and address immigration options. At 6:09pm, after the Western District Court had closed for the day, Attorneys McCarter and Do spoke with undersigned counsel, stating that despite earlier assurances of a legal call in 24-48 hours, ICE was deporting V.M.L. in the morning at 6:00am, before the courts would re-open. Undersigned counsel has been in email communication with OIL Attorneys McCarter and Do since that time. Undersigned counsel filed the petition and emergency TRO as quickly as was practicable, at approximately 8:00pm. Counsel attempted to call
