Trump's Threatened "ICE Family Raids": Becoming A New Issue In Ms. L. Litigation; Over 790 NEW "Missing" Family Members/Kids Identified...


As of this afternoon's status hearing, out of a possible universe of perhaps 32,000 additional likely class members -- the government has provided a list of 791 people who were omitted earlier, when the government preposterously claimed it only need account for kids and parents missing AFTER the Ms. L. federal class action litigation was filed. Not any child before then. Disgusting.

In fact, the government just now is beginning to track these up to 32,000 people in custody, or already deported. Folks, this is what willful obstruction of justice [thwarting clear federal court orders] looks like. And if I had to bet, I'd say one Sarah Fabian is point lawyer on it. Here is the latest, from an eighteen page status report filed overnight:

. . . .Over the past few weeks, there have been numerous reports of planned ICE raids targeting families who have received final orders of removal. See, e.g., Agency Says It Plans Deportation Operation Aimed at Undocumented Families, NY Times June 19, 2019. . . . Because a number of the targeted families may include Dora and MMM class members, class counsel emailed Government attorney Sarah Fabian on June 21, 2019 to inquire about the Government’s plans to ensure that no class members are wrongfully deported. . . . [Ed. Note: She never responded -- today is three full weeks later. We are talking about the rights of children, Ms. Fabian. See re-posted video version of her deplorable arguments, below -- in the Ninth Circuit.]

Today [July 11, 2019], several reputable news sources have reported that the ICE raids are now planned for this weekend. See, e.g., ICE Deportation Raids Will Likely Start This Weekend, Vox, July 11, 2019. . . . Advocates in border areas have received word that up to a one thousand families detained in the course of the ICE raids are expected to arrive at the South Texas Family Residential Center, an ICE detention facility in Dilley, Texas that houses detained immigrants. In light of these reports and the Government’s lack of response to our queries, class counsel are concerned about whether there are procedures in place to ensure that the settlement agreement will be honored during this process and that class members will not be removed without notice or an opportunity to take advantage of their rights under the settlement agreement. . . .


Obviously this is going to go on another six months, minimum. Disgusting, as I say.

And now, as I go -- ladies and gentlemen -- I give you the tragi-comic stylings of Trump acolyte lawyer Ms. Sarah ["Gig dog sitting for friends is more important than finding missing children"] Fabian: arguing that intentionally withholding bedding, toothpaste, soap and keeping crowded cells at unreasonably cold or hot temperatures, as well as 24 hour bright lights. . . . is [as to kids, certainly]. . . "no problem."
