This affidavit was much weaker than I suspected. No allegations of intent. No allegations of election theft. No allegations of foreign interference. No allegations that the statute of limitations doesn't apply.

At worst, it alleges human error, during a pandemic, that didn't affect the outcome.

1. The FBI affidavit used to seize ballots and other materials from the 2020 election in Fulton County relies on debunked conspiracy theories. For example, it isn’t true that Fulton first “reported” 511,343 ballots and then “reported” 527,925. I’ll explain.

Multiple election deniers are cited in this affidavit by name or can be identified: Kurt Olsen, Clay Parikh & Kevin Moncla.

All of them have gone on a QAnon-affiliated show dedicated to election fraud claims. Parikh, who's gone on it repeatedly, even told the channel that it’s "how I get my news."

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:

A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"

But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.
The G.O.P. Senator Who Can’t Stop Thinking About the Boy ICE Detained Katie Britt is uniquely positioned to reason with the Trump administration — when she chooses to speak up. Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas said in a post on social media that he had picked up Liam and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, from the Dilley detention center on Saturday night and escorted them to Minnesota on Sunday morning. He shared photos of the two on social media, including one showing Liam at the airport clutching what appeared to be a Pikachu toy and wearing a Pikachu backpack. Mr. Castro was part of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who visited Liam and his father at the detention center last week, where he said Liam’s father had reported that the child was “very depressed” and hadn’t been eating well since they were detained earlier this month.

DHS keeps touting a program that offers free plane tickets and “exit bonuses” to immigrants who self-deport.

But last fall, we spoke to a dozen immigrants who said they followed Trump's instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

➡️ Read their stories: https://propub.li/3Zeb4xF
Screenshot of tweet by @DHSgov dated Feb. 2. The text reads: Homesick? Take advantage of the historic CBP Home deal we are offering TODAY: a $2,600 exit bonus and a FREE flight to your home country. Illegal immigrants can leave safely and travel normally if they self-deport now. The post image shows a custom DHS plane ticket that says "$2,600 Exit Bonus," "Free Flight," and "CBP Home."

this is a good one storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Finally, the balance of equities and public interest favor a stay. The Government does not cite any reason termination must occur post haste. Secretary Noem complains of strains unlawful immigrants place on our immigration-enforcement system. Her answer? Turn 352,959 lawful immigrants into unlawful immigrants overnight. She complains of strains to our economy. Her answer? Turn employed lawful immigrants who contribute billions in taxes into the legally unemployable. She complains of strains to our healthcare system. Her answer? Turn the insured into the uninsured. This approach is many things—in the public interest is not one of them

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”
VIl. CONCLUSION There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side or at least has ignored them. Does not have the law on her side or at least has ignored it. Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter). Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that.
