It does seem… somehow appropriate — to post this on a Good Friday, 2026. The able USDC Judge Sabraw has repeatedly insisted that Tangerine 1.0 and 2.0 respect the rule of law — insofar as it applies to all people present on US soil. I commend him for this — history will write him, and Judges Gee and Tigar, down as both patriots, and heros. [My backgrounders (probably 30 of them on this litigation, over the last eight years — use the search box for “Ms. L”) include this one, here — of five years ago.]
Now, we await the briefs — on this next phase — over these eight years, of rumbling federal class action litigation:
…The Court is in receipt of Plaintiffs’ motion to release Class Members and Qualifying Additional Family Members.
After reviewing the motion, the Court orders Defendants to file a response on or before April 9, 2026. If Plaintiffs wish to file a reply they shall do so on or before April 13, 2026.
In the briefing, the parties should address whether the individuals at issue in the motion have filed habeas petitions challenging their detention, and if so, the outcome of those proceedings. Oral argument, if any, shall be set after the Court has reviewed the parties’ briefs.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: April 2, 2026….
Onward resolutely, into a gray and quiet Good Friday afternoon. Smile.
