Adjourned

She’s walking them through how to file video under seal. She’s direction an actual fucking lawyer to the procedures on their website….

She’s asking for everything under seal so there will be no redaction delays

Come back and tell me and we will focus on the incidents at play

Gov says they are unsure if they can get it done Ellis: you will find out (where was this sass for the last 90 mins)

Gov objects to the orders on the record. Ellis laughs and says she assumed they object to everything she rules since the beginning

She just got real serious about Halloween and suggested they take the day in mind 🤨

Translation: she will not ban TG

She has no desire to run CBP, he hopes TG will not be used. She will stay in her lane but not afraid to enforce the TRO. She will not tie the agents hands. She will expect they know and understand their responsibility and need to be able to justify their use of force or they will lose it

Ellis states she believes Bovino understands his obligations and what his agents are allowed or not allowed to do, importance of documentation and what is and is not allowed. She suspects now knowing where we are we I’ll not see TH being deployed over the next week. She is continuing the motion

Defense citing all the times they asked for this on things since Oct 3 incidents and have received nothing despite press hearings stating what happened idea gov can not do this lacks basis.

Gov is saying they cannot respond in time due to 72 hour delay for finalized report and they cannot confirm the nature of use and they need time to respond

Citing all uses of tear gas and how it’s been not justified

Defense (good guys) states this is not a logical argument and evidence shows proactive use of tear gas to instigate greater use of force

I mixed up defense and plaintiff gov declined to push out day

States the agents have been under threat. That judge has seen only one side of the story.

Gov holds the use of gas will be shown to be used properly and to protect all involved and prevent more lethal remedies including hand fighting

Oral arguments on the prevention of use of tear gas.

Side note one of the defense attorneys looks just like ed helms

If the parties would like to move the hearing date out a week or so but the TRO will remain in effect till then. Defense consents, government declines so hearing is still nov 5

For example the things I’ve asked for, these reports, exist. I am not asking for a long time (sept 2-sat) it shouldn’t be that many reports. Same with cameras

Ellis invites them to “take it upstairs”

Defense is asking for a stay. Ellis denies the request but then backpedals. She will issue in written form and not stay it. She is citing her power to enforce and ongoing serious questions.

Bovino was in full gear with mags and all

Bovino being excused to get back to work in judges words

Chart by Friday. Monday will be a report of over the weekend

Ellis wants a chart of all arrests not related to immigration related charges. She’s not interested in Home Depot arrests (side note wtf) but the crowd of people not part of the investigation

Ellis holding him to 6 and reporting the days events to that point

Ellis asks to see Bovino at 430 every day to give a report on the day till the injunction hearing in person

Same for body cameras
