Epilogue: Long Time Govt. Lawyer Sarah Fabian (Under Tangerine 1.0)... Has Left The Building. She Was The Advocate For NOT Giving Kids A Blanket Or Soap Or Bedding Or A Toothbrush -- Under Tangerine 1.0.

Well -- in the long-running Ms. L. class litigation, in San Diego (before the able and considerate USDC Judge Dana Sabraw), it is surprising (to me, at least) that Sarah Fabian is not going to stick around for Tangerine 2.0.

She also once argued that she couldn't come to an emergency hearing for kids detained in cages in sweltering heat. . . because she had agreed to walk a friend's dog over the weekend. A dog. I. cannot. even.

Moreover, I watched her argue -- in the Ninth Circuit (falsely) -- that no law requires any of the federal agencies to provide children (they've forcibly separated from their parents, and) then detained -- in large drafty 60 degree windowless concrete caverns (in winter), so much as a blanket, a toothbrush or soap. [I will append the link to that videotape, below -- if I can find it, now deep in my archives. As the able Ninth Circuit Judges asked: "Surely Ms. Fabian, you aren't going to tell us that not having these things complies with the requirements of 'safe, and sanitary' housing for children?!?"]

When pressed as to whether she felt that hers was an unreasonable position to take, as to children alone, in jails, in a country where they mostly do not even understand the language. . . she doubled down to the effect that "the four corners of the decree do not say anything about 'sleeping', your honor".

Obviously, our treaties (and the consent decree) and the Joint Convention on Asylum Seekers were directly violated by Tangerine 1.0, and the Ninth Circuit, and then the Supremes -- so held. Here's her departing motion. See 'ya, sister:

. . .PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Sarah B. Fabian hereby respectfully moves to withdraw as counsel of record for Defendants-Respondents in the above-captioned case on the grounds that her employment with the U.S. Department of Justice will end on January 25, 2025. Defendants will continue to be represented by all remaining counsel of record for Defendants.

Dated this January 21, 2025. . . .

ORDER Granting Motion to Withdraw as Attorney, Sarah B. Fabian [758] Motion to Withdraw as Attorney. Attorney Sarah B. Fabian terminated.

Signed by Chief District Judge Dana M. Sabraw on 1/22/2025. . . .

Onward. And good riddance. Out, now -- but why leave now, Ms. Fabian? Was it that you just loafed through four years of the Biden Administration? I genuinely want to know.
