Update: Ms. McDonald Has Been Set Free, In NYC...

Well -- she is FINALLY free. USDC Judge Vargas in Manhattan is to be commended for acting very swiftly to end her lawless incarceration.

But she should never have been swept up, in the first place. She was attending her hearings, and progressing through the immigration court system in New York.

She would be well-advised to bring a multi-million dollar false arrest suit / malicious prosecution case, against Noem, et al., now.

Here's the final order closing her habeas case -- just entered this afternoon:

. . .CLERK'S JUDGMENT re:

[20] Opinion & Order. in favor of Shawnet Nickesha Mcdonald against Kristi Noem, LaDeon Francis, Pam Bondi.

It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED:

That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated November 26, 2025, the Petition is GRANTED; accordingly, the case is closed.

(Signed by Clerk of Court Tammi M Hellwig on 12/1/2025). . . .

Onward, resolutely. Onward.
