Ryan J. Reilly “paints a vivid and urgent portrait of… disarray”BREAKING: The Trump administration has moved to drop its felony Reflecting Pool case against a former Olympic canoeist, admitting their allegations against David "Davey" Hearn don't hold water.

UPDATE on the Somalia TPS challenge: Judge Burroughs has now made it clear that she wants it to be in the same posture as the other Massachusetts fed'l court cases, issuing a new order creating a new administrative stay to take effect once the mandate in the appeal discussed below comes to her.
Chris GeidnerThat case is in a little different posture, b/c Burroughs refused to lift a pre-existing administrative stay, as opposed to granting a new one. DOJ appealed that denial to the First Circuit. DOJ: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Opposition: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is in the American Bar Association's lawsuit against the Trump admin for what the ABA identifies as the Trump admin's "Law Firm Intimidation Policy." Judge Amir Ali has the case, Susman Godfrey's Stephen Shackelford is representing the ABA, and James Wen is representing the government.
Chris GeidnerOn an hour-long (so far) discovery call that started at 10a on a Friday in the summer. Congrats to the lawyers who drew this straw (and the judge).
The two dissents today in the detention cases were both from George W. Bush appointees — Judges Bea (9th Cir) and Sykes (7th Cir) — who joined their respective courts within a year of one another more than 20 years ago. Both have taken senior status, letting Trump appoint their replacement.
Gabriel MalorUPDATE: 7th Cir., 2-1, has also issued a decision on this today, joining the 2d, 6th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Cirs. on this. As noted in the thread below, 7th Cir. previously left the question open. No longer. Decision is here --> media.ca7.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/Opin...
