🚨WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a gay man from Egypt who came at age 3 on a green card, which he lost after a recent conviction. An immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's currently imprisoned in Equatorial Guinea.

Today, the Ninth Circuit held that making the public wait "a few minutes to a few days" to see court filings is unconst'l. Under CA9's test, does the Supreme Court's own efiling process, under which cert. petitions are not publicly docketed for days, likewise violate the Const.?

The petitioner in this case murdered a child as part of a gang dispute with MS-13. It is remarkable that Perkins Coie and Akin Gump chose to file amicus briefs in this case so DHS would be forced to release him into the US and permit him to victimize more people.

When the government won't disclose where a detainee is and appears to be moving a detainee around to get him into the courts of Texas for forum shopping purposes, the 4th Circuit holds he can file his habeas petition in Virginia, not Texas, due to the government misconduct.

Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office. These individuals answered "no" when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers' licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway. This happened under the previous administration and, upon learning this information, I immediately ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred. I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024. The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system. Our preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted. They were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state. I want to underscore how seriously I take this matter. As a military veteran who swore an oath to defend our Constitution, and as a former federal prosecutor, I believe the integrity of our elections is fundamental to our democracy. I am appalled by the reckless failures that allowed this to happen and the lack of transparency shown by those in charge at the time. This failure didn’t occur under my watch, but accountability starts now. I am taking action to prevent anything like it from occurring in the future and make sure those responsible are held accountable. As the Trump Administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections. Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity. For more than ten years, he has worked to undermine Americans' faith in our elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn't accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level. The difference is simple: when we find a problem, we don't hide it, deny it, or invent conspiracies. We investigate it, we fix it, and we tell the public. That's what accountability and good governance look like, and that's exactly what my administration is doing. New Jerseyans should have confidence that every eligible citizen can vote, every lawful vote will be counted, and every reasonable step will be taken to protect the integrity of our elections. That's my responsibility, and it's one I will never stop fighting to uphold.

A national judicial panel has upheld a private reprimand of a federal judge in the U.S. South who engaged in an extramarital affair with a high-ranking police officer and had sexual intercourse in the judge's chambers within earshot of staff. reuters.com/legal/government…
