STATUS REPORT AND RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Defendants hereby provide notice that all of the class members that were on planes today have been deplaned and are in the process of being returned to ORR custody. Defendants will provide an additional update once that transfer to ORR custody has been completed and confirmed, which Defendants expect will occur today. Because Defendants had not yet entered an appearance, they had not received notice of this Court's order requiring a status report by 4:00pm and thus were not aware of it. Defendants have now entered an appearance and will respond to any additional court orders. Respectfully submitted this August 31, 2025. s/ Drew C. Ensign DREW C. ENSIGN

David Roberts on Lee Zeldin and Trump's climate absurdity "What utterly random, arbitrary, pulled-out-of-ass bullshit."

New in PN: @volts.wtf on Lee Zeldin and Trump's climate absurdity

"Overturning the endangerment finding is real old school early 2000s climate denialism. Will Zeldin be able to find a sufficiently corrupt Trump crony judge that will allow him to do this bullshit in plain view?"

Terrarium cuteness. Not a real frog.
