NEW: Manhattan DA Vance says his office will NOT try to execute the subpoenas for Trump's financial records until after the Second Circuit's ruling.

They say the circuit stayed to subpoenas, even though the ruling does not explicitly say so.

Background: courthousenews.com/trumps-team-fa…
On this point, Trump and Vance's teams are in agreement.

The Second Circuit implicitly stayed enforcement of the subpoenas, even if that court did not explicitly say so.
Read this story to unpack the (complicated) background to this legal distinction.

Then read the precise language of the one-page order both Vance and Trump's teams are interpreting. courthousenews.com/wp-content/upl…
Story ahead on @CourthouseNews

Here is Vance's memo:

"ALL RISE!"

Court is now in session. Chief Judge James Boasberg is presiding.

The hearing is taking place in person, and I am covering it virtually, with periodic live updates and coverage on @AllRiseNews.
The ACLU's Lee Gelernt registers his appearance for the plaintiffs.

For the DOJ: Abhishek Kambli, Drew Ensign, and Tiberius Davis.
Judge Boasberg notes that the Supreme Court's ruling vacates his minute orders, including the class certification, making them start again.

He's asking what relief the plaintiffs can now seek for the overall class.

Sometimes, judges craft their rulings to capture a historical moment.

That's what happened after a federal judge compared Trump's targeting of students to the Red Scare.

Click the 🔗, @AllRiseNews
Read the 🧵 allrisenews.com/p/mohsen-mahda…The court also considers the extraordinary setting of this case and others like it. Legal residents not charged with crimes or misconduct are being arrested and threatened with deportation for stating their views on the political issues of the day. Our nation has seen times like this before, especially during the Red Scare and Palmer Raids of 1919-1920 that led to the deportation of hundreds of people suspected of anarchist or communist views.

U.S. District Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford granted bail to Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi yesterday, but he also said more.

"Our nation has seen times like this before," he wrote citing the Red Scare and the Palmer Raids of 1919-1920 leading to thousands of deportations.
"Similar themes were sounded during the McCarthy period in the 1950s when thousands of non-citizens were targeted for deportation due to their political views," the opinion continues, in another example of the "moral panic" of the time.

HAPPENING SOON:

Law firm Jenner & Block urges a federal judge to put Trump's order targeting it in the dustbin of history. You can listen in!

Find out about how and where to attend historic court cases every week at @AllRiseNews allrisenews.com/p/rising-this-…When the Trump administration arrested a Wisconsin judge last week, hundreds went to the courthouse to protest. The demonstration generated national coverage about the public outcry, including in the Washington Post. Imagine if no one showed up. Here are court cases this week that you can attend in person or virtually. Jenner & Block v DOJ (Mon., April 28): A major law firm asks a federal judge to permanently block Trump’s executive order targeting it for political retribution. How to tune in: Court audio line: 833-990-9400; meeting ID: 367524674. In-person: E. Barrett Prett...
The court officer says: "All Rise!"

Judge Bates enters the courtroom at the start of the proceedings.
Jenner's lawyer:

"The government has offered zero in its papers to rebut the court’s findings" that Trump's order is unconstitutional.

"It is even more clear now than it was."

"The threat to the legal profession, the threat to Jenner, has only escalated."

Judge Boasberg begins his hearing to determine whether he will find the Trump admin violated his temporary restraining order to turn back Venezuelan immigrant flights.

I'll be listening in and providing periodic updates.
Boasberg puts DOJ lawyer Drew Ensign on the defensive, highlighting the limited scope of his order:

The Trump admin can still deport TdA members under any other number of authorities — other than summary expulsions under the Alien Enemies Act.

Ensign agrees.
In fact, Boasberg notes, the Trump admin executed those other deportations this week.

Ensign agrees.

After more Q&A, Boasberg corners Ensign: If anyone in the Trump admin said otherwise, "those statements wouldn't be true, right?"

After some evasion, Ensign agrees.

A federal judge adjourned the Eric Adams trial indefinitely — but appointed former solicitor general Paul Clement as a friend-of-the-court.

Judge Ho will have an “adversarial” process on whether to dismiss the case. buff.ly/3QuVmtBImage
Explainer:

This is a significant setback for Trump's ex-defense lawyer and acting DAG Emil Bove, who wanted dismissal of Adams case without adversarial proceedings.

Tapping Paul Clement, who argued for the US before SCOTUS, Judge Ho seems mindful of a ruling surviving appeals.
More context:

It's unclear what Paul Clement will advise — and what power Clement believes the judge has on dismissal.

But by appointing Clement, and declining other amici, Judge Ho steers the "adversarial" part of the proceedings to a credible third party w/o apparent ties to the case.
