Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)

On September 9, 2026, Respondents permitted Pablo F. to exit the building where he was detained, but he was immediately swarmed by four ICE officers and handcuffed as soon as he stepped outside. (Doc. No. 25-3 at 4:48:45–4:49:26.)3 The officers drove him to the back of the Whipple building and returned him to a holding cell. (Doc. No. 21 ¶¶ 8– 9; Doc. No. 25 ¶ 5.) During this encounter, officers dislocated Pablo F.’s shoulder. (Doc. No. 21 ¶ 7.)4 Pablo F. now bringsthis Motion seeking to enforce the Court’s Order granting the Petition.Again, Respondents make no attempt whatsoever to support their assertion that Pablo F. was released. Absent any such argument, the Court cannot agree that a reasonable person would have felt free to leave when exiting the detention facility and immediately being stopped by ICE officers. Likewise, absent some argument, the Court necessarily concludes that Pablo F. was subject to restraints not shared by the public generally when he took one step outside of the detention facility and was immediately stopped by ICE officers who forcibly returned him to a detention cell. Because Respondents do not make any legal argument that Pablo F. was ever meaningfully released from custody, the Court grants the motion and orders Pablo F.’s release.6 6 To be clear, Pablo F. is not arguing, and the Court is not concluding, that an order of release in a habeas matter renders unlawful any future arrests. Rather, the Court reaches the narrow conclusion that because Respondents advance no legal argument in this case to support their assertion that Pablo F. was released from custody, and because the uncontested facts show that ICE officers immediately swarmed Pablo F. as soon as he stepped out of the building, Pablo F. was not released from custody.

ICE’s new tactic, witnessed repeatedly at the federal building in MN: when a detained immigrant makes a successful habeas petition, release the immigrant for a few steps outside the building… then tackle and re-arrest them, and claim the habeas petition has been honored and nullified

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

NEWS: Governor Kathy Huchol of NY appoints the state attorney general Leticia James special prosecutor in the Cornell rape case, effectively removing the local DA. Hochul cites “serious questions” about the Cornell PD’s initial investigation and the DA’s earlier decision not to prosecute.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2026 STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL ON CORNELL UNIVERSITY SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE Newly released information continues to raise serious questions about the investigation conducted by the Cornell Police Department and the decision by the Tompkins County District Attorney not to prosecute an alleged sexual assault on Cornell University's campus in October 2024. This has, in turn, undercut my faith, and the public's faith, in the District Attorney's ability to effectively investigate and prosecute the case at this time. For this reason, I have issued an executive order appointing Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case. As special prosecutor, the Attorney General will investigate this incident and, if warranted, prosecute any offenses arising from that investigation and present evidence to a grand jury. The young woman at the center of this case deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued. This action will ensure that the matter is fully and thoroughly investigated without conflict or bias, and handled independently

Fox News releases two new polls. —Iowa: Josh Turek (D) up 49/47 for Senate. —Texas: James Talarico (D) up 51/49 for Senate. That's among likely voters. Strikingly (& against CW?), Dems lead by more among registered voters: Talarico +7, Turek +4.

guy who gerrymandered slc into four pizza slices, then packed the supreme court with unqualified loyalist shills & created A WHOLE ENTIRELY NEW COURT when they said it’s illegal AND tried multiple times to kill the entire ballot initiative process: “uwu we should step back from political hostility”

PBS News@pbsnews.org · 3d ago

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has emerged as a prominent voice calling on Americans to step back from the political hostility gripping the country. The Republican governor is expanding on that message in a new book. https://to.pbs.org/3VmTJnx

The more I read about the early Christian church the more hilariously apparent it becomes that none of them—the closest to Jesus and the apostles— believed anything most evangelicals believe about anything.

The funniest thing about the Schmitt rake stomp is that if it'd been a Dem we'd have a week of think pieces about how Dems lack of hoops literacy was alienating them from real America.

He is! He’s a fantastic example of how great governance can be and how it can really work to help people thrive. One of the things I love about Mamdani is his excellent communication. Every day he’s connecting with us, even people outside of NYC — always helpful, keeping people aware, sharing wins.
