It always happens: one moment I'm cooing over @ptdefiancezoo.bsky.social's snout-wiggling tapirs, then I pause to look up *one little tapir fact* and suddenly I'm deep into a journal article on the evidence that horses once had FIVE TOES on each foot www.researchgate.net/publication/...

2025-04-03 19:41:15

Judge Boasberg: OK, I'll issue order (prob next week) on whether I've found probable cause that contempt has occurred and what to do about it

2025-04-03 19:40:40

Lee Gelernt for ACLU: I think the next step has to be some evidence that's sworn. Three possibilities: declarations, a hearing under oath, depositions. I think you could find contempt on present briefing, but I understand you want to learn more. I'm not sure govt will reveal more in declarations.

2025-04-03 19:38:00

Judge: Are you prepared to tell me today why this info can't be given to *me*?
Govt: Diplomatic consequences
Judge: Like what?
Govt: Uh, it's what the govt has represented

2025-04-03 19:36:11

Govt: Don't know. Not to my knowledge.
Judge: Can you think of a single case where state-secrets privilege has been invoked re: *unclassified* info?
Govt: No
Judge: I can't think of one

2025-04-03 19:35:20

Judge: I agree with plaintiffs that I can probably find probable cause for contempt without information I'm missing because of your state-secrets claim. But let's talk for a moment anyway. I don't see any claim that info I'm seeking is *classified*
Govt: Correct
Judge: So *is* it classified?

2025-04-03 19:34:00

Judge: Would your clients like to have the chance to *purge* contempt? And if so, have you thought about how you'd do that?
Govt: Would have to learn more

2025-04-03 19:33:07

Judge: If I find there is probable cause for contempt, how do you think I should find out who those contemnors are? Declarations? Hearings?
Govt: Declarations
Judge: OK, but if I find those declarations insufficient, we'll hold hearings. So let your clients know that.

2025-04-03 19:31:40

Judge: You've said the govt behaved perfectly appropriately. So who made that perfectly appropriate decision?
Govt: Don't know
Judge: So you, standing here, have no idea who made the decision not to turn back?
Govt: No

2025-04-03 19:30:27

Judge: Who did you tell about my *written* order?
Govt: Same people
Judge: Who, then, gave the order that planes should not turn around?
Govt: Potentially subject to atty/client privilege
Judge: Because ...?

2025-04-03 19:29:36

Judge: OK, who did you tell about my *oral* order once the hearing was done?
Govt: Contacts at DHS, State Dept
Judge: OK! Who?
Govt: Uh ... e-mailed James Percival (DHS), Joseph Mazzara (DHS), Jay Bischoff (State). Maybe others? I believed it would be circulated to relevant people.

2025-04-03 19:27:09

Govt: Don't know what members of the admin who were listening in to call
Judge: You can't think of anyone else?
Govt: No?
Judge: Anyone you *believe* were listening in?
Govt: Maybe covered by atty/client privilege?
Judge: ... Why?

2025-04-03 19:26:02

Judge: Were there other govt officials listening to the 5 p.m. hearing on that day?
Govt: I believe so, but not full list. Members of my DOJ team.
Judge: Members of administration?
Govt: Uh ... my contact was James McHenry, assoc dpty AG. Don't know others
Judge: Take a moment to think

2025-04-03 19:23:47

Judge: And then there were people who were returned from the US—8 women and a man?
Govt: That's my general understanding
Judge: So certainly operationally feasible to bring people back to the US
Govt: Not sure

2025-04-03 19:23:05

Judge: So are you saying that everyone on that plane to El Salvador was Salvadoran? Because plaintiffs say, what's the basis for removing to El Salvador people who weren't Salvadoran?
Govt: 8 USC 1231(b)

2025-04-03 19:22:09

Judge: OK, let's talk about the third plane. You've represented that no one was deported purely on Alien Enemies Act proclamation. You agree that would be a clear violation.
Govt: Yes
Judge: Your arguments about oral vs. written order wouldn't be relevant to third plane
Govt: Right

2025-04-03 19:20:59

Judge: They told you *nothing* about these planes?
Govt: Content of conversations covered by attorney-client privilege
Judge: No one told you from the administration that planes were in the air or would be in the next 24 or 48 hours?
Govt: Correct, your honor

2025-04-03 19:20:14

Judge: So what I want to know here, as an officer as a court, you're telling me that you had no knowledge whatsoever between 5 and 6 p.m. that planes were in the air, or shortly would be in the air?
Govt: I had no knowledge from my clients that this was the case. Diligently tried to find out.

2025-04-03 19:19:14

Judge: According to your timeline, third plane was removed three hours after order
Govt: Yes, but those people weren't Alien Enemies Act deportations
Judge: So you say

2025-04-03 19:18:12

Judge: So in order to do this as quickly as possible, you were willing to risk putting people on planes who shouldn't be there, right? You admitted one person was removed in error, right?
Govt: Yes, though he was on the third plane, for which no issues were raised
Judge: Oh, issues were raised

2025-04-03 19:16:53

Judge: Why, when you knew I was holding a hearing that afternoon, why wouldn't the prudent thing be to say, Let's slow down here. He's already enjoined the removal of 5 people. Certainly possible he'll enjoin these others. Better safe than sorry and wait. Why not the wise, prudent, considered route?

2025-04-03 19:15:44

Judge: It was good fortune that I happened to be around at 7ish a.m. and plaintiffs filed at 1:12 a.m. on March 15. Otherwise, govt would have flown everyone out. The window between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. isn't really sufficient for plaintiffs to be heard, right?
Govt: Eh, timing isn't *that* uncommon

2025-04-03 19:13:27

Judge: Is there any other inference that there was an expedited effort to get people on planes before my hearing at 5 p.m. or when I ruled? Isn't that a fair inference?
Govt: I don't think so, your honor
Judge: People bused to planes in morning so plaintiffs couldn't challenge it, yes?
Govt: No

2025-04-03 19:11:39

Judge: OK, day of March 15. My first order entered at 9:40 a.m. (re: 5 original plaintiffs). When was info about order passed on to ICE?
Govt: Not sure
Judge: When did *you* learn about it?
Govt: Not sure, but sometime that morning
Judge: That *morning*
Govt: I believe so

2025-04-03 19:09:57

Judge: OK, so if this was true, if there was preparation, there isn't even a question: it has to be true
Govt: I think you could draw that inference
Judge: Is there any other conclusion you could possibly draw? Isn't it the *only* possible inference?
Govt: I think that's correct

2025-04-03 19:09:06

Judge: ICE says proclamation was made public at 3:53 p.m. But ICE clearly knew of proclamation before 3:53 on March 15
Govt: You might infer that
Judge: Is there any way *not* to infer that? People in TX rounded up three planes' worth of people, flew them out within hours?

2025-04-03 19:06:58

Judge: Why was proclamation not made public until 15th if it was signed on the 14th?
Govt: Not sure, but it wasn't effective until it was made public
Judge: So you don't think it was because the govt was trying to get people ready to be whisked out of the country ASAP
Govt: No knowledge

2025-04-03 19:05:19

Judge: So, if any of your clients, or any members of the administration, continue to make statements contrary to the facts as I've just outlined, they would not be true, correct?
Govt: Yes ... if they were not true ... they would be false.
Judge: That's what I thought

2025-04-03 19:04:14

Judge: You agree that my TROs did not order any TdA members to be released from custody, right? And it didn't prevent the govt from arresting any TdA members? Or use other procedures to deport TdA members? In fact, I hear you deported some this week!
Drew Ensign (govt): Agreed

Öztürk atty: Her attorneys were not told where Öztürk was, despite their best efforts to find out over many hours, while she was being moved from state to state. Your order was intended to preserve status quo. But the govt tried to whisk her away and conceal location until she was in Louisiana.

2025-04-03 18:08:39

HAPPENING NOW: Rümeysa Öztürk's attorneys (including ACLU) argue before Mass. federal judge Denise Casper that Öztürk's case should remain in Massachusetts. (The govt argues it should be dismissed or moved to Louisiana.)

Note that ordinarily, a TRO can't even be appealed! The Trump administration and these Republican AGs can't even bear to wait a few weeks before demanding to resume deporting and imprisoning people with no evidence or process—and they're counting on SCOTUS to be equally unprincipled
