By accepting the #federal #grants & awards, the new documents state, volunteer organizations that help after #disasters must agree to not “operate any program that benefits illegal immigrants or incentivizes illegal #immigration.”
That could put groups that provide #food, #housing, #MentalHealth support & other assistance in disaster-stricken #states in the position of having to verify #aid recipients #legal status before providing assistance, experts said.

Dugan’s attorneys have accused #federal prosecutors of overstepping their #constitutional #authority by interfering with a #state level #judge.

They also argued that the concept of #JudicialImmunity protects #judges from undertaking official acts related to their judicial office. That includes a judge’s ability to run her own courtroom, they argued.

Pritzker’s aides said his priority is to keep a #federal deployment from happening. That’s why #JBPritzker & his staff hustled to gather a cross-section of political, civic & faith leadership in a show of unity that #Trump would surely see.

“I know he doesn’t read ... but I know he watches television,” he said of Trump. “And so perhaps if somebody from Fox News or from Newsmax is here, they’ll cover the fact that #Chicago is in much better shape” because of what local officials are doing.

The #DOJ, which filed the suit in June, says the automatic pause violates a #SCOTUS ruling & impedes the president’s authority to enforce #immigration laws. DOJ has grown increasingly frustrated by rulings blocking #Trump’s agenda, repeatedly accusing #federal #judges of improperly impeding his powers.

The lawsuit was an extraordinary #legal maneuver, ratcheting up the admin’s fight with the federal #judiciary.

Cullen was nominated to the federal bench by #Trump in 2020. He serves in the Western District of Virginia, but he was tapped to oversee the case because all 15 of #Maryland’s #federal #judges are named as defendants, a highly unusual circumstance that reflects the admin’s hostile response to judges who slow or stop its policies.

A #federal judge Tues threw out an unusual lawsuit #DOJ filed against EVERY FEDERAL JUDGE in #Maryland, which had challenged a #CourtOrder blocking the Trump admin from immediately deporting immigrants in the state contesting their removal.
