Tangerine 2.0 Lawyers Just Appealed The Minneapolis Federal Mag. J. Order To Comply With Discovery, On Jurisdictional Issues...

Many here will recall that the federal trial level courts have ordered MarkWayne Mullin to explain himself, relative to all the violations (including shooting fatalities) late last year, and into this early Spring by ICE/DHS agents, in and around Minneapolis. [Here is my June 23 prior backgrounder on this exact topic.]

Rather than comply with that clear order (text reset, again in blue below) -- the Tangerine 2.0 lawyers today have appealed, essentially saying the actions of ICE/DHS are beyond review by the federal courts. Poppycock. I link that nonsense -- for a complete record. . . but will not quote it.

. . .The parties are ordered to meet and confer before July 6, 2026 to develop a plan for limited discovery before the Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 174) is resolved. . . .

Early Discovery requests must be tailored to issues that might inform the parties’ positions in the Motion to Dismiss, and information with a high risk of dissipation over time. . . .

The Early Discovery plan should identify, as to each request, a reasonable time scope and a narrowly targeted range of custodians from whom such discovery is sought. . . .

Failure by either party to negotiate Early Discovery in good faith will be construed as a waiver of arguments as to such discovery. . . .

[Here is the full June 23 order, from which the above text was lifted.]

Almost to the last one of them, these Trumpian lawyers think the law is only to be applied to the little people. They think they are above it. Beyond it. That hallucination is coming to and end. Right quick. (Quick, at least in terms of legal proceedings. Heh.)
