Govt's reply last night, asking Judge Cannon to stop Trump from claiming that FBI wanted to kill Trump & his family, gives details about Ricky Shiffer’s 2022 attack on an FBI hdqtrs & a more recent threat to an agent working on the Hunter Biden case...
1/9
 bit.ly/45Dz9A4
Image
... On 8/11/22, three days after the Mar-a-Lago search, Shiffer attacked an Ohio FBI office with an AR-15 & a nail gun. When FBI pursued him, he fired on agents & then engaged in a 6-hr standoff, per search warrant application appended to the reply.
/2 Image
... Addressing Trump’s claim that Shiffer’s attack can't be linked to Trump, govt cites 8/8/22 Truth Social post, calling the search “political persecution,” & Shiffer’s Truth Social posts later same day, saying “this is it,” “I am proposing war,” & “Kill the FBI on sight.”
/3 Image
... Shiffer then posts 29 more Truth Social posts the next day; 4 more on 8/10/22; and finally one last one during the shootout & standoff on 8/11/22, before he is killed. All sound the same themes: “Be ready for war tomorrow”; “Kill FBI on sight”; “call to arms.”
/4 Image
... The govt reply also cites a TX man’s phone and text threats earlier this month to an FBI agent in the Hunter Biden inquiry. The man called the agent on the agent’s FBI-issued phone: “we’ll hunt you cock-suckers down & slaughter you” & “your whole f-ing family.” ...
/5 Image
... Responding to Trump argument that the agents involved in the M-a-L search haven’t been ID'd, govt says they will be when they testify. Further, two agents have been, in fact, doxxed by a former Trump aide on Breitbart News, including names, DOBs, emails, etc.
...
/6 Image
... The govt reply does not explain why it seeks modification in the terms of Trump’s release rather than a gag order fashioned more like those already upheld by the DC Circuit & NY appellate courts. This is just my speculation, but it might have something to do with ...
/7
... the fact that here the govt seeks mainly to protect the security of law enforcement agents rather than, mainly, the administration of justice (jurors, witnesses, court & prosecutorial personnel), though govt says the latter is also at stake. ...

A thread about DOJ’s astoundingly misleading responses to the 27-page Reuveni letter (since backed by 150pp of corroborating texts/emails) alleging conduct approaching contempt in 3 cases: JGG, Abrego, DVD.
Let’s examine @DAGToddBlanche’s & @AGPamBondi’s responses. ...
1/9
Reuveni’s letter says 5 others (but not Blanche) were at the 3/14/25 meeting where Bove allegedly said they “would need to consider” telling courts “fuck you.” In Blanche's denial, he claims he was present for whole meeting—but it appears he wasn’t. ...
/2 Image
“I was at the meeting,” Blanche writes. But Blanche only poked his head in & left, Reuveni told NYT. Tellingly, Bove testified to Senate *not* that Blanche was present, but that Blanche *said* he was present. ...

After today’s 5th Circuit argument in the Alien Enemies Act case WMM v Trump ( formerly AARP) it appeared that at least 2 of the 3 judges would approve the validity of Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation. Unclear what due process they’ll afford targeted aliens. ...
1/6
... Judge Andrew Oldham (Trump appointee) doubted that a court could "countermand" virtually any aspect of Trump's decree. He even doubted that aliens had a right to deny their membership in Tren de Aragua, tho SCOTUS has said they do. ...
2/6
... Judge Leslie Southwick (GWBush) was tending toward adopting Judge Haines's (WDPenn) view. Haines found that the decree plausibly found a “predatory incursion” in light of Secy Rubio’s designation of TdA as a “foreign terrorist organization.” ...

Emil Bove, like Blanche on X, may be evading. Reuveni wrote than on 3/14 "Bove stated that DOJ would need *to consider* telling the courts "fuck you” and ignore any such court order." So it's true Bove didn't literally order anyone to violate court orders *at that meeting*
1/3 Image
... & it’s also true that Reuveni, later that day, after speaking to DOJ colleague Flentje, felt momentarily reassured. But it's the events that followed--laid out in detail over 27 pages--that suggest that Bove's "fuck you" comment *was* eventually carried out. ...
2/3 Image
... And I don't think anybody yet has denied that the "fuck you" comment was made. Maybe Bove will today. Maybe not. But there’s likely a text between Reuveni & Flentje referencing it when DOJ/DHS was, it seems, violating Judge Boesberg’s orders on 3/15.

Tomorrow, at noon, Judge Farbiarz (DNJ) will hold a hearing on whether to release Mahmoud Khalil on bail. Khalil, in custody in Louisiana, requested the hearing 91 days ago. Since then at least 5 others similarly situated have all been released. Thread.
1/21
Khalil is a lawful permanent resident Columbia grad student who participated in Gaza protests. No criminal record. Palestinian. On 3/8 he was detained in his lobby in NYC as he returned with his US citizen wife, who was then 8-months pregnant. ...
/2
On 3/9, Khalil sued seeking release, alleging retaliation for 1st Amendment protected speech.
On 3/11 DHS told Khalil that the reason he was being removed was Secy Rubio’s finding that his presence in US had “serious adverse foreign policy consequences.” ...

Hearing in Newsom v California, the national guard case, starting at 4:30pm ET. I'll try to live-blog for @lawfare , technology permitting. ... It's on Zoom, but I think the 1000 max has already been hit. ...

Judge Charles Breyer on bench now.
Newsom v Trump

Nicholas Green for state AG seems to be lead.

Judge: preliminary comments. reason it's necessary to have briefing is while it was initially styled ex parte proceeding, it was certainly not ex parte. there was cooperation between parties. wanted to make sure i had complete record to extent it can be achieved

In motion for civil contempt & other sanctions against govt officials, including personal fines, Abrego Garcia’s attys shoot for the moon. Here they ask Judge Xinis to order AG Pam Bondi et al. to turn over her personal devices for in camera review. ...
/1
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
The motion relies on allegations of both a pattern of obstruction & specific responses inconsistent with NYT reporting & the timing of Abrego Garcia's indictment. Here, e.g., attys allege 60 days of obstructive conduct *after* SCOTUS ruling ordering facilitation of his return:
/2 Image
But the real smoking guns are alleged responses of, for instance, DHS atty Joseph Mazzara, who filed a declaration & was deposed in the case. NYT has reported emails of him allegedly saying, "We're also trying to keep him where he is."
