Also: Anyone on here with access to the Mailings menu in ecf.dcd (cgi-bin/MailNoticeRpt.pl)? Do we know if Drew Ensign is signed up to receive notice of the 4pm status report deadline that was just missed, given that he has not filed an appearance?

"Because Defendants had not yet entered an appearance, they had not received notice of this Court’s order requiring a status report by 4:00pm and thus were not aware of it." Oops

Can we stop to ask why the pedophile regime is moving unaccompanied children around in the middle of the night?

1 hour later...no 4pm status report. Doesn't anyone with a filing account have that menu?

Starting to get a bad feeling about this.

They're ignoring the court order, aren't they.

At least one judge is taking deadline compliance seriously.

I guess she's read the J.G.G vs Trump case file VERY CAREFULLY. Also, I'm quite sure Judge Boasberg is waiting on that en banc rehearing to add the government's behavior in this case to his list of exhibits.

I had to look her up, since I’m not familiar with all the various judges, but there is good in this world and good in immigration, which has given us Judge Sooknanan!

Normally it's not worth commenting on notices of appearances, but…today it is. Drew Ensign files his appearance in the case at 6:20pm, so he will definitely receive notices going forward and can be presumed to have read the docket and prior orders by now.

Well, apparently they claim to have not received notice of the order due to non-appearance. I wonder how things will change in the future.

It's maybe worth noting this is not the first time Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew C. Ensign's failure to enter a formal appearance in a case has drawn attention. In the D.V.D. litigation before Judge Murphy (D. Mass), plaintiffs objected to his arguing w/o appearing. No dodged orders, tho.

Ooops? At 5:19pm Sunday, Judge Sooknanan, in the midst of all this with the Government's status reports, ordered Plaintiffs to file a status report by 6:30pm Sunday. I missed that, and it appears the Plaintiffs might have, too, because they didn't. Sooknanan Monday at 12:07pm wants to know why:

Like me, Plaintiffs didn't read Judge Sooknanan's order carefully, they say ("overlooked"). Plaintiffs now do not disagree with the Government's assessment that "all putative class members transported from ORR facilities have been deplaned and returned to ORR custody."

If there’s never any penalty he can do whatever the f he wants.

Judges are like bad parents. 1. Do this by 4 or you’ll be in big trouble! 2. Why didn’t you do this mister? 3. You better come up with a bs excuse! 4. Ok. But you better do it by tomorrow or you’re in BIG trouble No wonder no one is scared of them.
