Upon review of the unopposed Motions, and consistent with the Court’s authority to
enforce its own orders and control the dissemination of discovery materials generated in this case,
the Court agrees with the parties’ uniform view. Release of Volume II outside the Department of
Justice would plainly offend the Court’s Dismissal Order [ECF No. 672] and the Rule 16
Protective Order [ECF No. 27], both of which remain in force; it would cause irreparable damage
to former defendants from disclosure of non-public discovery material implicating still-contested
grand jury and privilege concerns; and it would contravene basic notions of fairness and justice in
the process, where no adjudication of guilt has been reached following initiation of criminal
charges. The Court reasons as follows.
NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon permanently forbids the Department of Justice from releasing Volume II of Jack Smith's report on his prosecution of Trump. Also bars DOJ from sharing "any information or conclusions" from the volume. A sweeping, perpetual gag order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Breaking: The Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon has permanently blocked the release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on the classified documents case — saying releasing the report would be unfair to Trump and his co-defendants.

U.S. Immigration Deportees Held in Secret African Detention Facility
Sending migrants to Cameroon skirted judicial orders, lawyers said.
"As the journalists interacted with the migrants, uniformed police barged in and detained the lawyer and four journalists. Police confiscated their cameras, laptops and phones..."

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.
Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.
He never returned to her that day.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico
A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

Two tuberculosis cases detected at Camp East Montana ICE facility
Eighteen cases of COVID-19 were also identified. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar on Friday visited the 5,000-bed tent facility on the Fort Bliss Army base and said she saw many "chronic issues."
One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim.

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
