To learn more on this issue see my @lawfaremedia.org piece, written when DOJ was a mere 0 for 3 in the courts on this issue. They've subsequently lost 2 more, with about 25 cases still pending.

"Respondents' counsel does not contend he could not comply with the Court's order but rather, that he had higher priorities. Thus, Respondents' counsel's noncompliance in this matter, and in others, demonstrates an unwillingness—not an inability—to adhere to basic procedural requirements."
On Lawfare Daily, @mollyroberts.bsky.social and @katherinepomps.bsky.social discussed Lawfare’s new interactive tracker, which documents instances in which the Trump administration has failed to comply with federal court orders in immigration habeas corpus proceedings.

@katherinepomps.bsky.social and I made a bot. Every time she adds a case to our habeas non-compliance tracker, the bot will send it out. It's going to be a busy bot over the next few days.
If you’re aware of any instances of government non-compliance, please send them our way! Use compliance@lawfaremedia.org
I think that this effort, by @katherinepomps.bsky.social and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org, will prove to be one of the more consequential analyses conducted during the first two years of this administration. Its findings are incredibly alarming, but they can be addressed.
We added 56 cases to this. Today. And we’re working on uncovering more.
ICYMI: Watch @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org, @annabower.bsky.social, @rparloff.bsky.social, @katherinepomps.bsky.social and @mollyroberts.bsky.social discuss Lawfare’s new database of government non-compliance, Pam Bondi being fired as AG, and more.
Proud to support this!

This is an incredible resource if you're following the ongoing immigration habeas disaster
This is an _incredible_ resource and I'm so happy to be working at a place that does such valuable work.
Bravo @katherinepomps.bsky.social and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org !!
from @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org and yours truly.
We just published an interactive database of 300 immigration habeas cases in which the government failed to comply with court orders.
The project documents patterns—not anecdotes—of noncompliance across jurisdictions.

Pleased to roll out this project that @katherinepomps.bsky.social and I have been working on for some time: A database of 300 immigration habeas cases in which the government has violated court orders: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/thre...
NEW: Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ has dropped 23,000 criminal cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — while prosecuting 32,000 new immigration cases in just the first six months of Trump’s second term.
In The Situation, @katherinepomps.bsky.social and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org highlight statements from federal district judges addressing the Justice Department’s failures to comply with judicial orders in habeas corpus cases.
Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...
Unbelievable
Two different agents are visibly firing their guns, with at least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground. The current videos of the shooting only show these two agents with guns drawn.
Today, the Justice Department released a redacted memo laying out the purported legal justifications for the Trump administration’s military operation in Venezuela and removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Read the memo, from @katherinepomps.bsky.social.
"Let’s start with the title: “A Date Which Will Live in Infamy.”
Yep. Seems appropriate. No notes."
@katherinepomps.bsky.social and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org look for areas of agreement with the White House's account of the Jan 6 Capitol Riot.
Today's Lawfare Daily is a Jan. 5 livestream where @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org, @annabower.bsky.social, @sranderson.bsky.social, @ericcolumbus.bsky.social, @michael-feinberg.bsky.social, and @katherinepomps.bsky.social discussed the arraignment of Nicolás Maduro, and more.
How many DEA agents does it take to arraign an abducted Venezuelan dictator (and his wife)?
My Lawfare colleague @katherinepomps.bsky.social braved the weather and The Line to find out.
Read the details in her dispatch from Maduro’s arraignment, out now:

I spent the day covering Nicolás Maduro’s first court appearance in SDNY. What happened inside, beyond the headlines: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/me-c...
