You may find of interest the following items:

  • the June 9, 2025 Memorandum Opinion and Order Granting Petition and Issuing Writ of Habeas Corpus from Judge David Briones of the Western District of Texas finding that granted permanent injunctive relief that prevents the government defendants from removing a detained Venezuelan national and a certified class of “noncitizens in custody in the Western District of Texas who were, are, or will be subject to” Trump’s AEA proclamation from the United States pursuant to the proclamation because the proclamation is unlawful.

  • the June 10, 2025 Order Setting Briefing Schedule and Hearing Date from Judge Charles R. Breyer of the Northern District of California with respect to the California attorney-general’s complaint seeking a temporary restraining order that would prevent the President from taking over the California National Guard.  The Schedule is quite rapid, with a hearing scheduled to this Thursday after both sides have a chance to submit briefs. There is a critical analysis of the government’s actions at a June 10. 2025 Slate column by Mark Joseph Stern entitled, Trump’s Deployment of the National Guard in L.A. Has Serious Legal Flaws.

  • the June 10, 2025 Law Dork posting entitled D.C. Circuit’s Trump appointees issue another administrative stay to block justice, which describes how three Trump appointed judges on the DC Court of appeals held that the administration did not have to comply for now with a judge’s order to give due process to scores of Venezuelan immigrants who were deported to El Salvador under a wartime law. The order is attached and criticized very strongly. Ruth and Bill Eskridge will talk about this behavior by other courts of appeals and the Supreme Court.
