As I Guessed -- Now Due Tomorrow, By Morning -- In Khalil's Case In Newark...

As I guessed, this looks like more Noem foot-dragging and the able USDC Judge Farbiarz is having none of it.

Not a week's delay; only a day -- here's that by a docket text note/order just now:

. . .TEXT ORDER:

As to the letters due today, the issue they concern was, as noted by the Respondents, raised by the Court on May 2.

Moreover, it is apparent from the Respondents' May 7 letter that they were already gathering and considering at least some of the relevant materials. The Respondents do not describe the possible scope of the materials, and so they afford the Court only a limited basis for understanding the possible scale of their task.

Against this backdrop, as to the letter due today at 9:30, its scope is narrow and does not seem to implicate any paper files. The Respondents shall expeditiously gather information, and provide their response, even if partial, on or before May 9 at 9:30am. As to the letter due today at noon, the Respondents shall expeditiously gather information, and provide their response, even if partial, on or before May 9 at 5:00pm.

If either letter provides a partial response, that letter shall include an overall update, that explains what remains to be done as to the relevant task and how much time, in the Respondents' judgment, it will take to compete the work. As to either letter, if there is a particular case that may be sensitive, the Respondents may make their filing as to that case under seal and explain why sealing is appropriate; if that does not obviate the Respondents' concerns, they shall explain why, and propose another way forward.

So Ordered by Judge Michael E. Farbiarz on 5/8/2025. . . .

Now you know. These government lawyers act as though they've never been before a federal judge before. Damn.
