Again, one of the oldest immigrants' rights federal class actions (in active litigation since 1985!) is going up to the Ninth Circuit on appeal. AGAIN. The Ninth ought to dismiss the appeal, summarily -- without briefing. It is crystal clear that the MAGA AUSAs are simply dragging their feet -- at Stephen Miller's (and Trump's) direction.
Specifically, the latest order would appoint a neutral expert to look after the rights and welfare of children in the various border detention facilities (many now privately run for profit, and owned by Trump cronies!) -- to be certain that the United States government (through these for-profit contracts) is not engaging in crimes against humanity. And we know it is.
Children as young as seven(!), who do not speak any English -- have been sent into immigration/administrative courts alone, without ANY counsel of record. And then a bureaucrat aligned with the MAGA agenda rules against them, from the bench -- simply because they cannot/do not respond with cogent legal arguments -- in English. Then they are dumped on the Mexican side of the border, alone (even if that is not where they came from).
This is deplorable. It MUST end. Here is the Shumate appeal, in full -- filed Friday:
. . .Defendants hereby appeal from two orders dated August 17, 2026, and entered on the docket on August 18, 2026:
(1) In Chambers—Order Discharging Order to Show Cause [1794] and Appointing Special Master and Independent Monitor, ECF No. 1827; and
(2) Order RE Appointment of Special Master and Independent Monitor, ECF No. 1828.
Dated: October 16, 2026. . . .
Now you know. Ugly. Fugly, actually.
