Overnight Status Update -- As Ms. L. Cases Move Toward Final Settlement...


The graphic from last Friday reappears, this Friday -- as it seems in at least some settings, the Trump Administration continues to try to "slow walk" the reunifications, and push for removals (deportations) -- through mid-term election day.

Awful, that. Here is last night's latest full 15 page joint status report -- as a PDF, and a bit:

. . . .As of this filing, Plaintiffs’ counsel have sent a total of 258 executed election forms to the government. Of that total, 73 forms were executed by mothers and children currently detained at the family detention center in Dilley, Texas. All 73 individuals chose to invoke the procedures set forth in the settlement agreement and seek relief from removal.

Another 180 forms were executed by fathers and children currently detained at the family detention center in Karnes, Texas. Of those 180 individuals, 68 chose to invoke the procedures set forth in the settlement agreement and seek relief from removal. Five forms were executed by parents who remain separated and are detained at facilities other than Dilley and Karnes. Of those 5, one chose to invoke the settlement procedures and four chose to waive those procedures and seek repatriation. . . .


Separately, we are deeply indebted as a nation, to the FBI, and all law enforcement -- for apprehending the MAGA-bomber. Now will 45 admit he is mostly -- or at least partially -- responsible, for the monster? Of course not. But vote the truth -- the one you actually see. [A few posts down, in comments, I've linked an image of the suspect's van. Res Ipsa, baby.]
