The judge who will immediately weigh President Donald Trump’s effort to fire Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook has already pushed back against one of his other signature efforts to expand presidential power: mass deportation.

Cook’s lawsuit Thursday was randomly assigned to U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, who was appointed to the federal bench in Washington, D.C., by Joe Biden in 2021. Cobb, a former public defender, was Biden’s first appointment to Washington’s district court, which has 15 full-time judges.

In a ruling earlier this month, Cobb blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to rapidly deport hundreds of thousands of immigrants who had fled violence or oppression in their home countries. The immigrants had previously been permitted to enter or remain temporarily in the U.S. under a program known as parole.

“Will they be summarily removed from a country that — as they are swept up at checkpoints and outside courtrooms, often by plainclothes officers without explanation or charges — may look to them more and more like the countries from which they tried to escape?” Cobb wrote in an 84-page decision against the deportation effort.....

Cobb, 45, is a graduate of Northwestern University and Harvard Law School. After working at the D.C. Public Defender Service early in her career, she joined a Washington-area firm that primarily handles employment-related litigation.

7. The court battle over the future of the Federal Reserve begins today

I may listen in
If governor Lisa Cook is removed, “the outcome would be momentous,” said JPMorgan chief U.S. economist Michael Feroli.

At 10 a.m. ET, a federal court in Washington, D.C., will hold a hearing over Lisa Cook’s removal from the Federal Reserve. But the court battle will shape much more than the future of Cook’s tenure at the central bank.

At stake is the independence of the Federal Reserve, the world’s most important central bank.

As noted by JPMorgan chief U.S. economist Michael Feroli, Cook’s firing from the Fed, if successful, “would create the second vacancy on the board in less than a month and would allow the president to move that body in a direction more to his liking.”

“If the president were successful, the outcome would be momentous,” Feroli added.

Gaining a majority on the Fed’s board does not automatically give Trump’s nominees power to raise, lower or keep interest rates unchanged, but his nominees could, as soon as February, decline to renew or confirm a fresh four-year term for regional Fed bank presidents who get a vote on interest rates.

Those presidents are key to the 12-member Federal Open Market Committee, which comprises the Fed chair, six Fed governors and five regional Fed presidents. Those presidents come from Federal Reserve banks from New York and San Francisco to Chicago and Atlanta.

9. Arggh, I cannot get onto call

10. I am on the call

The govt. is taking the position that Lisa Cook had due process when she did not contest in public the charges made against her. I hope that the court disagrees with this
