"In a court fight over whether DOGE has to comply with public demands for its records under FOIA, DOJ says it's going to immediately appeal..."

ICYMI: A fed judge in DC denied the Trump admin's effort to get a lawsuit tossed out challenging DOGE's access to systems & data at Labor, HHS & CFPB -- "& prepares itself for the twists & turns this case will surely continue to bring."

A legal document titled "MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES DOGE SERVICE’S MOTION FOR STAY OF APRIL 15, 2025" discusses a petition for a writ of mandamus in response to a court order.
A court document titled "CONCLUSION," discussing a legal case, stating that while the facts are evolving, the complaint remains unchanged. It addresses the plaintiffs' standing to sue, the court's decision on a motion to dismiss, and includes a signature by

Here is the Trump admin’s 258 pg request for the Fourth Circuit to grant an emergency stay of Judge Xinis's order to "facilitate" #KilmarAbregoGarcia's return, arguing that the court has no authority to demand it take any affirmative steps to secure his release.

The #DOJ insists that it needs Judge Xinis to define "facilitate"—presumably so it can object to any definition & keep arguing in the abstract.

At true minimum, the District Court should have put forward a definition of "facilitate," before ordering invasive discovery into the Executive Branch. But that court refused to do so, failing to offer any guidance beyond rejecting what Defendants proffered. See ECF 79, at 4-6. That does not work at all. Before going down the road of intrusive discovery into what Defendants have done to date and what they will do in the future, it was incumbent on the District Court to define what they were in fact supposed to do under its order. The alternative leaves a moving discovery target at best, and a blank check for plaintiffs at worst. This Court should grant mandamus and order the District Court to first decide this threshold issue.

Interesting note:

When #DOJ released the Gang Field Interview Sheet in the #KilmarAbregoGarcia case, they redacted the name of the cop...the one who was suspended & then indicted for serious professional misconduct. But Sargent & TNR obtained the GFIS & confirm that the name is under the first redaction bar.

DOJ redacted GFIS
