At the 11^th hour, Tangerine 2.0 forces filed an again largely non-responsive answer, in the Second Circuit.

I won’t quote it — but simply note that it makes multiple misstatements as to the record, ignores the government’s own nearly two years of delay now — and then offers legal arguments that have already been rejected in both Nashville and Maryland. Damn.

It will fail.

And — most of all — we must mention that overnight in Houston, yet another likely innocent (non-deportable) man lies dead — shot down by what appears to be overly-aggressive ICE/DHS agent lawlessness. [Witnesses report that at least one of the ICE agents involved exited his vehicle and immediately started shooting.] Damn.

The indictments ought to come from state prosecutors, but this is MAGA Greg Abbott’s Texas. So, we will have to wait — and see.

Separately, I am off to the Rockies for all of next week, so blogging is forecast to be light to non-existent. Smile….
