In Ms. L. Class Action Litigation (Since 2018)... Noem / Rubio / Miller Must Now REHIRE Pro-Bono Legal Service Providers For People In Custody At The Southern Border.

Despite an explicit written term/covenant, in the final settlement order, for the Ms. L. litigation (USDC SD CA No. 18-cv-428) -- now almost six years ago, Noem decided to fire the lawyers she's required to keep hired, and paid. That legal services bill still runs about $4 million a year -- due to Tangerine 1.0 malfeasance at the border.

This coming week, the able USDC Judge Sabraw is very likely, in San Diego, to order Noem to simply rehire the lawyers at Acacia. Stupidly, her minions aver that this cannot be done -- primarily because they. don't. want. to. Want has nothing to do with it. This is a final federal settlement order, enforeceable in accordance with its terms (and completely affirmed on appeals, all the way to the Supremes, last go 'round). Full stop. Here's her nonsense:

. . .On June 10, 2025, this Court issued an Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Renewed Motion to Enforce Settlement Agreement Regarding Provision of Legal Services, instructing the Government “to reinstate their LASRF task order with Acacia.” 17-18, ECF No. 795.

The Government, however [lies here under oath, and sez it], is unable to “reinstate” per se the LASRF Task Order with Acacia, as the Task Order expired on April 30, 2025.

To contract with Acacia, the Government would have to enter into an entirely new Task Order with Acacia. [Completely false: court orders supercede silly admin. procurement regs., chucklehead.] This would require the Government and Acacia to mutually agree on terms for a new Task Order, including a Statement of Work and cost of services.

Without an existing Task Order, the Government is preparing a Request for Information and a Statement of Work that will allow the Government to collect written information about the capabilities of vendors in the marketplace to offer immigration legal services for the LASRF Program. A single contract or multiple contract awards are possible.

The Government will continue to provide [Sure sure: "I'm from ICE; I'm here to. . . help?!"] personnel and resources for group orientations, self-help workshops, pro bono recruitment, and outreach to Class Members and Qualifying Additional Family Members. . . .

What a pack of lying "Bo-Bo the Clown" fools these people are -- to a person. Out.
