The Able USDC Judge Cummings Is [Still] Doin' The Right Thing (In A 2018 Era Class Action Settlement Case) -- "Good Trouble" Edition In Chicago.

The Tangerine 2.0 ICE agents and their lawyers are refusing to provide complete documentation, on all the people in the Chicagoland area being held, on allegations that they lack paperwork, to be here.

This 2018 class action suit in Chicago was settled by agreement, by Trump 1.0, and he agreed he would not try to detain or deport (on immigration related charges) anyone in the class.

But he has repeatedly done just the opposite -- and dozens if not hundreds have been summarily released by the able USDC Judge Cummings -- while wryly noting that he is simply complying with Trump's own prior agreements.

The latest spat involves getting detailed lists of who all is being held, so that the plaintiffs' lawyers may verify that ICE/DHS is not still holding people who are entitled to their freedom. This, Tangerine 2.0 forces have resisted for months now. But the motion to enforce is now upon us, thus (we cannot link the underlying filings as many contain identifying details of people Trump might target anew, were those details. . . public):

. . .MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings:

[Tangerine 2.0] Defendants' response to plaintiffs' motion to enforce consent decree, [468], shall be filed on or before 7/28/26 and plaintiffs' reply shall be filed on or before 8/3/26. . . .

Onward, resolutely -- to a warm, but cloud-covered bike ride. . . . smile.
