While We Were Away, The Able USDC Judge Sabraw Reiterated His Order That ICE/DHS/BOP Must Produce The List Of ~8,000 Names By Sept. 29...

As we mentioned, numerous public media video reports show ICE/DHS agents scanning bar codes, on wrist-bands these putative asylees are required to wear, while being detained by the federal government in pens at or near the Southern Border.

So it is facially preposterous for the agents to say the list of some 8,000 names (and associated ID details) must be prepared by hand, with quill pens, on ancient parchment. Damn. And as we said he might, the able USDC judge is having none of this foot-dragging nonsense -- from the Noemites:

. . .[T]he alleged burden on Defendants would not outweigh the need to produce the information to Plaintiffs’ counsel. As parties to the Settlement Agreement, Defendants have an equal responsibility to ensure that Class Members receive the relief to which they are entitled, and to ensure that Class Members and QAFMs are neither wrongfully detained nor removed. It behooves Defendants, as well as Plaintiffs, to have this information at the ready so that other Class Members and QAFMs are not reseparated from their families.

For all of these reasons, Defendants’ motion for reconsideration is denied. Defendants shall produce to Plaintiffs’ counsel the information set out above on or before September 29, 2025. Pending production of this information, the Court continues its stay on removal of Class Members or QAFMs defined in the Settlement Agreement.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 26, 2025. . . .

So. . . the Manchurian Cantaloupe's impotent stalling tactics. . . fail, yet again.
