![description in the record of a “[s]urge” in officers was the deployment of 8
officers. The fact that there were 26 FPS officers on duty on September 6, as the
majority’s order emphasizes, Order at 27 n.13, says nothing about whether any or
all of those individuals were from somewhere other than Portland. The record
does not reveal the number of local FPS officers.
Even if we assume that FPS deployed all 115 officers in June, it strains
credulity to assume that all 115 of them remained in Portland for four months.
What were they doing during the month of August, for example, when there was
only a single incident at the ICE facility during the entire month? The record does
not tell us. Indeed, the record does not shine light on the most pertinent
information: in the days leading up to September 27, how many FPS officers from
elsewhere were in Portland? The only hint in the record is a reference to some
officers from elsewhere leaving Portland and returning to their home stations.
This factual deficit in the record weighs doubly against the government.
First, in the present procedural context, the government bears the burden of
persuading us that a stay is warranted. See Nken, 556 U.S. at 433–34 (“The party
requesting a stay bears the burden of showing that the circumstances justify an
exercise of that discretion.”). The government cannot rely on factual ambiguities
of its own making to meet its burden.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreifpvcff2rf4rmbcqwbtg2xe3u6ce54d4y4hg25grdbbott24ommgm@jpeg)
![Second, and perhaps more revealing, the government is the only party with
access to the pertinent information. The government presumably has a record of
who was deployed to Portland and when. We do not know why the government
chose not to file a declaration describing the relevant details. But it cannot submit
an ambiguous assertion and then ask us to interpret that assertion in its favor. See
Doe #1 v. Trump, 957 F.3d 1050, 1059–60 (9th Cir. 2020) (“The government
cannot meet [its] burden [to demonstrate irreparable harm] by submitting
conclusory factual assertions and speculative arguments that are unsupported in the
record.”); see also Clifton v. United States, 45 U.S. 242, 248 (1846) (“[I]f the
weaker and less satisfactory evidence is given and relied on in support of a fact,
when it is apparent . . . that proof of a more direct and explicit character was within
the power of the party, . . . it may well be presumed, if the more perfect exposition
had been given[,] it would have laid open deficiencies and objections which the
more obscure and uncertain testimony was intended to conceal.”).5](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiaealjrhyeirm2jynz45fmoo6azvlqrb3g6mi4vcfqicyi2avqi6i@jpeg)

"I signed up to defend the American people and protect the Constitution," said one Illinois National Guard member. "When we have somebody in power who's actively dismantling our rights — free speech, due process, freedom of the press — it's really hard to be a soldier right now."

There's going to be a huge debate about whether to aggressively hold Trump officials and federal agents accountable after this is over.
However, it isn't just a matter of justice being served. The American economy, its diplomacy and national security literally depend on it.

So, there's this wacky Michigan politics story: In the lame-duck session at the end of last year, the Legislature passed a bunch of bills. Unaccountably, the then-Speaker (a Democrat) somehow didn't present nine of them to the Governor for her signature or veto. www.freep.com/story/news/p...
9 bills passed by Democrats haven't been sent to Whitmer, GOP Speaker calls for review
Republican Speaker Matt Hall said his office will await a review to determine how to handle bills left over from when Democrats controlled the House.
