WA moved more blue in 2024 because Democrats built strong, year-round organizing and ran candidates who delivered. Hear from our Chair and DNC Vice Chair Shasti Conrad, who helped lead on protecting working families, empowering young & AAPI voters, and turning activism into wins, changing the game.

My report at Law Dork on the earlier preliminary injunction ruling:

Judge criticizes Trump admin, blocks effort to quickly deport children to Guatemala

Judge Timothy Kelly, appointed by Trump in 2017, questioned whether the "plan" was implemented in "good faith" and found that one initial claim "turned out not to be true."

Remember the Trump administration's unsuccessful Labor Day effort to expel children to Guatemala?

The lawyers filed an amended complaint today, expanding the scope of the litigation — reflecting the long-term goals of the administration to do the same thing with kids from many countries.

INTRODUCTION
1. This is a complaint on behalf of hundreds of children at risk of unlawful removal
from the United States.
2. Plaintiffs are unaccompanied minors in Office of Refugee Resettlement (“ORR”)
custody whom Defendants have sought or are seeking to remove from the United States in clear
violation of the unambiguous protections that Congress has provided them as vulnerable
children. Defendants have unlawfully claimed the power to expel these children, in violation of
the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (“TVPRA”), the Immigration
and Nationality Act (“INA”), and the Constitution. Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of
unaccompanied children who are or will be placed in ORR custody and who do not have a final
order of removal or grant of voluntary departure by an immigration judge

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps
