🚨 The 5th Circuit has REVERSED two district court habeas orders, holding that noncitizens present in the United States without admission are subject to MANDATORY detention WITHOUT a bond while removal proceedings are pending. Image
Image
§ 1225(a)(1) deems any unadmitted alien present in the U.S. an “applicant for admission”; § 1225(b)(2)(A) then mandates detention if the alien is not “clearly and beyond a doubt” entitled to be admitted. No bond provision applies.

🚨 A federal judge has issued a writ of habeas corpus ordering the release of an asylum seeker and his 5 year old son, holding that ICE administrative warrants fail the 4th Amendment's probable cause requirement.

Read the 3-page ruling here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image

This is honestly the most unhinged opinion of a federal judge that I've ever read. The scathing and antagonistic language is one thing, but he makes a sweeping holding that the 4th Amendment requires an independent judicial officer, not administrative warrants, with ZERO analysis.
Then he signs off the ruling by saying:

"With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike"

with a date that doesn't exist (Feb. 31st)

a picture of the child

and Bible verses...

🚨 A New York judge has STRUCK DOWN the State's congressional map under the NY Constitution.

Justice Pearlman orders the IRC to redraw NY-11 into a Black/Latino influence district by linking Staten Island and lower Manhattan, dismantling Republican Nicole Malliotakis's seat. Image
Image
Image
The new map must be in place by February 6th, 2026. The current NY-11 has existed since 1980.

Pearlman's test largely tracks the current framework used for Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act as applied to redistricting.
Defendants, including Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, argue that this new district violates the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.

@CivilRights under @AAGDhillon is arguing a similar case at the US Supreme Court right now.

🚨 A federal judge has STRUCK DOWN most of President Trump's Executive Order on election integrity.

The Court holds that the President exceeded his authority and violated separation of powers because election regulation rests with Congress and the states. Image
Image
Image
What the Court permanently enjoined:

§ 2(a): Requiring documentary proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration form.

§ 4(a): Conditioning federal election funding on compliance with EO-mandated requirements.

§ 4(b): Mandating changes to federal voting system certification standards and rescinding prior certifications.

§ 7(a) & § 7(b): Enforcing a same-day ballot receipt rule and conditioning funding on compliance.
What the Court held as plausibly unconstitutional (claims allowed to proceed):

§ 3(d) and § 4(d), relating to overseas voter documentation requirements and funding prioritization tied to voting system standards.

🚨 The United States has accused the @dccc and @paulmitche11 of SEVERE misconduct in its lawsuit challenging California's new congressional map.

A 3 day hearing on the map is set to begin TODAY, and the US asks for a declaration that could win them the case.

DETAILS 🧵⬇️ Image
Image
Image
Despite agreeing to a Dec. 3 hearing, CA tried to delay to January 20th, over a month after the date that it now admits it must have a map in place.

The court called this an "11th hour" move without a clear justification, but granted a delay to Dec. 15 to allow for DISCOVERY. Image
The US subpoenaed all documents related to the drawing of the Prop 50 map and sought to depose Paul Mitchell, the person hired by the DCCC to draw the Prop 50 map.

The DCCC said that it conducted a reasonable search and found only privileged documents.

After delaying his deposition by 5 days, Mitchell's lawyer emailed the United States at 1:16 AM on the day of his deposition (12/10) saying that they would not be able to produce any documents before the hearing and that Mitchell would assert legislative privilege during the deposition.
