Extraordinary thread about an extraordinary hearing, prompted by the Trump DHS trying to sneak hundreds of unaccompanied children out of the country to Guatemala on a holiday weekend. The governmentâs lawyer is sure itâs all legal, but needs 5 days to explain how. By @annabower.bsky.social
The government has argued that the children are simply being reunited with their parents. But Sooknanan reads from a series of declarations that seem inconsistent with that claim.
Chat is it good to wake up a judge at 2:30 am on a long weekend because you're flagrantly breaking the law and then ignoring the deadline she set
when a judge gets woken up at two in the morning to deal with your bullshit it is generally advisable to stop producing new bullshit such that they can get some sleep at some point the next day
JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didnât file the report in time â and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.

A âself-coupâ is when a leader who gained power through legal means overturns the rule of law to seize dictatorial power. Itâs what Ferdinand Marcos did in the Philippines. Itâs what Bolsonaro tried to do in Brazil. Itâs what Trump is doing now in the U.S.
