UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA JENNY LISETTE FLORES, et al., 12 Plaintiffs, 13 V. 14 PAMELA BONDI, Attorney General of the 15 United States, et al., 16 Defendants. Case No. CV 85-4544-DMG (AGRx) ORDER RE DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO TERMINATE (15671

Case 2:85-cv-04544-DMG-AGR Document 1637 Filed 08/15/25 Page 2 of 20 Page ID #:57826 1 2 3 4 Before the Court is Defendants' Motion to Terminate the Flores Settlement Agreement and to Dissolve the Court's 2019 Injunction. [Doc. ## 1567 ("MTT").] The motion is fully briefed. [Doc. ## 1584 ("Opp."), 1612 ("Reply").] The Court held a hearing on the motion on August 8, 2025. Defendants fail to identify any new facts or 5 law that warrant the termination of the Flores Settlement Agreement at this time. Therefore, for the reasons set forth below, the Court DENIES Defendants' MTT.

16 Throughout the entire history of this case, the Parties have understood that "it is necessary ... for the New Regulations to follow [Administrative Procedure Act] rulemaking procedures." Flores v. Barr, 407 F. Supp. 3d at 924. This understanding is evidenced by the fact that every time Defendants have attempted to promulgate a rule incorporating the FSA-in 1998, 2019, and 2024 they have always gone through the traditional APA rulemaking process. See also FSA 4 9 ("[T]he INS shall initiate action to publish the relevant and substantive terms of this Agreement as a Service regulation") (emphasis added). Termination of the FSA cannot occur until Defendants have published final, federal regulations implementing the FSA. FSA 99; FSA (as amended) 4 40. Accordingly, the Court concludes that neither DHS nor HHS is yet in sufficiently substantial compliance to warrant termination of the FSA under Rule 60(b)(5).®

NEWS: Judge Dolly Gee denied DOJ’s request to terminate the Flores settlement — a 1997 settlement that provides court oversight of gov’t treatment of migrant children subject to detention until a final rule is in effect.

The astonishing thing about Watergate, in contrast to today, is how the President was actually shamed into leaving office.

Imagine that: shame.

Heinous.

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

ICE plans to build more tent jails for immigrants. What could go wrong? A brief recent history of "soft-sided" facilities and their many faults.

ICE, now the best-funded federal law enforcement agency in the US, is embarking on a plan to drastically expand its detention infrastructure. But the agency’s vision for new facilities is startlingly low-tech.

It's also a humanitarian disaster.

Government: “Here’s my offer. You… just stop being trans, and we’ll leave you alone.”

Me: *Keanu voice* “Wow. That sounds like a really good deal. But I have a better one. How about, I give you the finger…”

*flips off the government*

Me: “…And you give me my civil rights.”

Federal judge appointed by Trump rules that Trump's AEA proclamation is "unlawful" The final judgment blocks Trump's March 14 Alien Enemies Act proclamation from being used to deport anyone from southern Texas.

Neither the Court nor the parties question the Executive Branch's authority and responsibility to enforce federal laws and, along with local law enforcement agencies, to protect 1 / 36 Case 1:25-cv-00072 Document 58 Filed on 05/01/25 in TXSD Page 2 of 36 the nation's population. Neither the Court nor the parties question that the Executive Branch can direct the detention and removal of aliens who engage in criminal activity in the United States. The Executive Branch has and will continue to rely on the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove aliens found to represent a danger to the country. The question that this lawsuit presents is whether the President can utilize a specific statute, the AEA, to detain and remove Venezuelan aliens who are members of TdA. As to that question, the historical record renders clear that the President's invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms. As a result, the Court concludes that as a matter of law, the Executive Branch cannot rely on the AEA, based on the Proclamation, to detain the Named Petitioners and the certified class, or to remove them from the country.'

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump exceeded his authority in his Alien Enemies Act proclamation addressing alleged members of Tren de Aragua, issuing a permanent injunction barring AEA proclamation-based removals from the Southern District of Texas.

This is a cult of white nationalists. They send bombs in the mail, break into homes with hammers, set homes on fire, they stormed the fucking capitol building and attacked police officers.

They won’t stop until they are stopped. And they were just pardoned by an evil, corrupt, tyrannical rapist.

But she says she would do it again anyway.

People tell me that it's so helpful for mundane tasks like responding to emails, but if an email response is so easy that an AI can do it, then how hard can it be for a person to do?

We give up the little things that make us human at our own peril.

May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

End Citizens United! End elected officials ability to make stock decisions when their work impacts the markets!!! It's not brain surgery, folks!!

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

Would anyone in any other job speak like that to someone who is essentially their employer? There seems to be a misconception by some of our elected officials. We don't work for them. They work for us.

Let's add a third act to that play.

Yup.

Oh.
