2. Judge Rejects Trump Bid To Change Rule Limiting Time US Can Detain Immigrant Children

This is still an important ruling https://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/judge-rejects-change-flores-settlement

A Los Angeles federal judge has rejected a Trump administration request to detain immigrant families together, calling it a “cynical” attempt to undo a longstanding court settlement.

U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee said Monday that the federal government had failed to present new evidence to support revising a court order that limits the detention of children who crossed the border illegally.

The Department of Justice asked Gee to alter a 1997 settlement after the president reversed his zero-tolerance policy that caused uproar when children were taken from their parents in emotional scenes caught on camera.

The government wants to change the settlement so it can detain families together.

3. As expected. But the administration doesn't care.

Flores, emoluments, federal records law, treason...they don't give a shit. And Republicans in Congress don't either. Neither does the Supreme Court.

Everything hinges on November.
