Plaintiffs attorney Mark Fleming asks the feds to agree not to seek removal while these cases are adjudicated:
"We are concerned these people don’t know their release is pending. They don’t know there is reason to have hope."

Cummings: "I'm gonna order those folks released by no later than noon on Friday."

Judge Cummings is on the bench. They're starting with detainees where the feds have already agreed that their arrests were in violation of the consent decree, yet they have not released them.
Government attorney saying they are in the process of being bonded out

The vast majority of those arrested had ZERO criminal history or prior removal orders, the plaintiffs say, arguing they should be immediately released while their cases play out because their arrests/detention are in violation of a 2018 consent decree

She’ll be pardoned long before then.

...compared to the alternative, it sure looks like Justice Jackson's intervention on Friday accomplished as much as it possibly could have given the limitations she faced. Lots of folks were surprised she didn't just force the majority's hand Friday night; I think her moves make even more sense now.

And third, even *this* intervention by the Court buys the Trump admin. only another 48 hours—which, again, is less time than it likely would've been given had Jackson provoked the full Court into overruling her Friday.

That may not end up mattering, and it's still another 48 hours w/o SNAP. But...

Second, assuming the full Court, had it acted Friday, would've issued its *own* administrative stay, the way Jackson structured her ruling cleared the way for the First Circuit to write a 26-page *opinion* about why the application for a stay should be denied. That wouldn't have happened otherwise.
