Nebraska folks, please consider sending an email to support our public libraries! A 10% cut would really hurt our rural libraries. It's a form email--so easy! And editable if you choose! app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag... @nlaofnebraska.bsky.social

Update: In the evidence preservation lawsuit, the current Civil Chief at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office (who appears to be Ana Voss, based on the letter), refused to accept email service of the lawsuit last night and then refused to accept in-person service until Monday. Ridiculous behavior.

Our office represents Plaintiff Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in this case. I write to provide an update on our efforts to notify and serve Defendants and to request that the Court consider them sufficient to comply with its direction that Plaintiffs serve Defendants by 9 a.m. this morning: • Yesterday at 7:27 p.m. our office sent an email to the Civil Chief at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota informing her that we would be filing a suit, seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) relating to preservation of evidence, and asked her to confirm receipt and advise who will be handling the suit as soon as possible. • Yesterday at 9:10 p.m. (immediately after the case was filed) our office emailed courtesy copies of our filings (with the exception of the word count certificate and hearing notice, which were provided at 9:44 p.m.) to the Civil Chief, again asking that she confirm receipt and advise who will be handling the case. • The Civil Chief responded to our first email at 9:34 p.m. last night. At 11:00 p.m. she informed us that she would look for coverage for the case but would not accept service by email • At 11:11 p.m. our office emailed the Civil Chief a copy of the TRO entered by the Court. Shortly thereafter we asked if, given her office's refusal to accept service by email, if we could effect personal service in the morning before 9 a.m. The Civil Chief responded that the office would not be open to accept service until Monday. • At 7:39 a.m. this morning, our office emailed courtesy copies of the pleadings and TRO to the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division at the U.S.Department of Justice, to the Office of General Counsel at the Department of Homeland Security, and to the Office of Chief Counsel at U.S. Customs and Border Protection. We intend to formally serve Defendants tomorrow, January 26, 2026, consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(i) and to personally serve the Summons, Complaint, and TRO papers when the U.S. Attorney's Office reopens. The actions we have already taken comply with Rule 65(b)(1)'s requirement that we attempt to provide "written or oral notice to the adverse party." We request that the Court consider these efforts sufficient to comply with its Order that we serve Defendants by 9 a.m. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Respectfully, s/ Joseph Richie JOSEPH RICHIE Special Counsel PETER J. FARRELL Deputy Solicitor General Attorneys for Plaintiff Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension CC: Clare Diegel, Esq. Ana Voss, Esq.

NEW: The ICE killing of Alex Pretti, the second in Minneapolis, prompts quick legal action. After ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, lawyers responded quickly — leading to one TRO issued before the night's end aimed at preserving evidence of the killing. My report at Law Dork:

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

I was listening to Joe Hill on the @ukpageone.bsky.social podcast today, and the way he described simply reading as an act of rebellion really struck me. I was thinking how vital it is we fight for our art going forward (creation = rebellion) and that doing something NEW for yourself is the same.

Playing catchup as I thought I had an extra day before my last Japanese lesson of the year, but わたしはまいにちにほんごをはなします。 (I mean that is true, not just what the textbook exercise tells me to write out, but - hot damn is this good for me. Start learn a new language in 2026, your brain will love it!)
