UPDATE On Flores: Asylum Border Families Case, In LA -- Judge King (Ret.) Likely To Be Named The Special Master

Today, the able Judge Dolly Gee in the Central District of California litigation called Flores v. Edwin Meese (open since 1985!), has suggested a retired federal immigration judge as the Special Master, in this matter, to close out the reunifications.

That retired judge is Carol King, and her resume is attached to this six page order form (a PDF file). This would be a special kind of stupid if the Trump appointed US Atty. staffers object to her appointment -- she is clearly exceptionally qualified, and well-versed on this case -- and has the available time to devote to it. Here's the central bit of the order, entered late this afternoon, Eastern time:

. . . .MINUTE (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER
RE PROPOSED SPECIAL MASTER/
INDEPENDENT MONITOR by Judge Dolly M. Gee:

By no later than September 10, 2018, the parties shall file a joint status report indicating whether they stipulate to the appointment of Retired Immigration Judge King as the Special Master/Independent Monitor or, if not, they shall state any objections they may have to her appointment.

IT IS SO ORDERED. . . .

Now you know -- and keep these families on the front page, nationwide. This is an ongoing crime against humanity, by Donald Trump. Onward.
