Federal Motion For Prelim. Injunction; Additional Deadlines, In Tangerine 2.0's Complete LOSS On "Birthright" Matter...

It really is all over, except for the shouting, now. Tangerine 2.0 has absolutely been bounced out of court.

The motion will be is now linked here -- as it was not due until after 7 PM Pacific Time tonight, in the Western District of Washington.

So, for now, here are those just published, and ordered. . . deadlines:

. . .The Citizenship Stripping Order deprives children born in the Plaintiff States of a foundational right enabling full participation in our democracy, as citizens may exercise their fundamental right to vote in federal, state, or local elections. U.S. Const. amend. XVI; ECF No. 1957 (citing state constitutions). They may serve on federal and state juries. 28 U.S.C. § 1865(b)(1); ECF No. 1 158 (citing state statutes). They may become the President, Vice President, or a member of Congress, and hold offices in the Plaintiff States. U.S. Const. art. II, § 1; U.S. Const. art I, §$ 2-3; ECF No. 1 4 61 (citing state laws). Children subject to the Citizenship Stripping Order will be denied each of these rights and benefits they would have had if they were born earlier.

The vast majority of those subject to the Order will be condemned to the additional harm of living with undocumented legal status. Most of the babies denied citizenship will be left with no legal immigration status and no prospects for legalization. Oskouian Decl. 11 5-10. Children left without legal status "will be at immediate risk of removal from the United States," including "being at risk of being arrested and detained" during removal proceedings. Others will likely become stateless, "left in legal limbo" with "no home country to return to voluntarily or otherwise." Baluarte Decl. 49 8-15. Statelessness would assign these children "a fate of ever-increasing fear and distress." Trop v. Dulles, 356 U.S. 86, 102 (1958). . . .

In light of the temporary relief already provided to the Plaintiff States, see C25-0127-JCC, Dkt. No. 43, and the pendency of a preliminary injunction hearing, scheduled for February 6, 2025, see C25-0127-JCC, Dkt. No. 44, the Court sets the following supplemental deadlines:

▲ The Individual Plaintiffs may supplement the Plaintiff States’ anticipated motion for a preliminary injunction, no later than January 29, 2025.

▲ The Individual Plaintiffs may file a supplemental reply to the Government’s anticipated response (due January 31, 2025) on or before February 4, 2025.

▲ The Individual Plaintiffs shall appear at the preliminary injunction hearing set for 10:00 a.m. on February 6, 2025.

▲ The Plaintiff States and the Individual Plaintiffs are ORDERED to file a consolidated complaint no later than February 10, 2025.

DATED this 27th day of January 2025. . . .

Now you know. Onward.
