I also wrote about that USA Today ~exclusive~ ICE propaganda series. www.lawdork.com/i/181640363/...

I decided putting it in the newsletter was the only way to control my writing.

USA Today’s unacceptable coverage
Over the weekend, USA Today embarrassed itself by running ICE propaganda.

USA TODAY: Exclusive: A father and his three kids work for
ICE. Why they do it

The publication, in the first of a two-story “series,” worked with ICE to, essentially, embed itself with a family of ICE agents and agree not to name them — despite being federal employees paid with tax dollars — as they spout pro-ICE propaganda.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
DESIGNATING FENTANYL AS A WEAPON
OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Section 1. Purpose and
Policy.
Illicit fentanyl is
closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic. Two milligrams, an almost undetectable trace amount equivalent to 10 to 15 grains of table salt, constitutes a lethal dose. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from
fentanyl overdoses.

The wild thing here is that, when SCOTUS denied Florida’s request for the very stay granted today in 2023, Justice Kavanaugh — joined by Justice Barrett — explained that as a “First Amendment overbreadth” case — different principles might apply than in other cases. www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-flo...

court, after holding that a law violates the Constitution, may nonetheless enjoin the government from enforcing that law against non-parties to the litigation is an important uestion that could warrant our review in the future.! But [highlight]the issue arises here in the context of a First Amendment overbreadth challenge, which presents its own doctrinal complexities about the scope of relief.[/highlight] This case is therefore an imperfect vehicle for considering Le general question of whether a district court may enjoin a government from enforcing a law against non-parties to the litigation. For that reason, the Court is not likely to grant certiorari on that issue in this particular case.
In sum, because this Court is not likely to grant certiorari on the only issue presented in Florida's stay application, it is appropriate for the Court to deny the application.

BEFORE: Rao, Walker, and Childs, Circuit Judges
ORDER
Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of mandamus; the emergency motion for a stay pending resolution of the petition for a writ of mandamus, and the opposition thereto; and the notice of district court orders, it is
ORDERED, on the court's own motion, that respondents file a response to the petition for a writ of mandamus, not to exceed 8,800 words, by December 29, 2025.
See Fed. R. App. P. 21(a)(1), (b)(1); D.C. Cir. Rule 21(a), (b). Petitioners shall file a reply, not to exceed 4,900 words, by January 5, 2026. While not otherwise limited, the parties are directed to address the following issue:
Federal law recognizes that criminal contempt may be direct or indirect.
See Young v. U.S. ex rel. Vuitton et Fils S.A., 481 U.S. 787, 797-99
(1987). A court may initiate criminal proceedings for indirect contempt through notice and a referral for prosecution. See Fed. R. Crim. P.
42(a)(1)-(2). In seeking information about decisions made outside the presence of the court and referencing the possibility of a referral for prosecution, the district court appears to contemplate indirect contempt proceedings. See ECF No. 196 at 1. On what legal basis may a district court (1) investigate possible grounds for indirect contempt and (2) delay a referral for prosecution until it finds probable cause that indirect contempt occurred?

As of now, Chief Judge James Boasberg's planned contempt proceedings won't happen on Monday, due to a Friday night order from the D.C. Circuit.

At Law Dork, I explain: www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-d...

Judges Neomi Rao and Justin Walker of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Friday night blocked D.C. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg from beginning his scheduled Alien Enemies Act case contempt proceedings next week.

Judge J. Michelle Childs, a Biden appointee, would not have granted the stay.

The “administrative stay” issued by two Trump appointees on the appeals court after the close of business on Friday blocking Boasberg’s contempt proceedings echoed a similar “administrative stay” issued by two Trump appointees on the appeals court after the close of business on a Friday blocking Boasberg’s contempt proceedings back in April — a move that ultimately delayed the district court’s effort for seven months.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
J.G.G., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
V.
DONALD J. TRUMP, et al.,
Defendants.
Civil Action No. 25-766 (JEB)
ORDER
On December 8, 2025, the Court ordered that live witness testimony would be warranted in its inquiry into whether a contempt referral is appropriate. See ECF No. 200 (Order). The
Government now moves for reconsideration, asking the Court not to conduct such hearing or,
alternatively, to greatly restrict testimony. See ECF No. 201 (Recon. Mot.). The Court will deny
the Motion.

The Court will remain mindful of attorney-client privileges that may pertain to other
communications as the testimony proceeds, and the Government will be free to object to particular questions. At this stage, however, Plaintiffs have pointed out numerous reasons why the privilege might well not apply. See ECF No. 205 (Pl. Resp.). The Court, furthermore, will limit the scope of the testimony to the current case and not permit questions regarding the particulars of other cases that the witnesses may have worked on, unless there is some direct showing of relevance. In sum, the Court sees no reason to delay the entire hearing while waiting for further, unspecified appellate guidance, as the Government also demands.
The Court, accordingly, ORDERS that Defendants' [201] Motion to Reconsider is
DENIED.

NOTICE OF DISTRICT COURT ORDERS
The Government respectfully provides notice that the district court has issued
an order, attached, denying the Government's motion for reconsideration or in the
alternative for a protective order. See ECF 208. In an unreasoned minute order, the
district court also denied the Government's motion for a stay pending this Court's
resolution of its mandamus petition. These orders together confirm that the hearing
set for Monday morning will proceed, and underscores both the need and the warrant
for the emergency relief that the Government has sought in this Court.

NEW: The ACLU lawyers representing the plaintiffs in the underlying Alien Enemies Act case file a short — but sharp — opposition to DOJ's stay request, highlighting both the delay that has gone on here and the en banc D.C. Circuit's vote on all of this.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

These proceedings have been on hold for almost eight months. See J.G.G. v.
Trump, 2025 WL 3198891, at *1 (D.C. Cir. Nov. 14, 2025). The en banc majority
of this Court recently concluded that the district court’s contempt inquiry can go
forward. See id. at *4 (Pillard, Wilkins, and Garcia, JJ.) (district court may
“proceed . . . within his sound discretion” to obtain factual information); id. at *5
n.1 (Pan, J.) (“Six of the eleven active judges on this court opine that the district
court did not err.”). The district court has now begun that inquiry. As it explained,
the government has filed only the most “cursory” declarations, which leave critical
questions unanswered about the basis for the government’s decisions and whether
the government intentionally misled the district court. D. Ct. Dkt. 208, at 2. The
government’s principal objection is the attorney-client privilege, but as the district
court explained, “the Government will be free to object to particular questions,”
the court will “limit the scope of the testimony to the current case,” and in any
event, there are many reasons why the privilege may not apply at all. Id. at 3.
For these reasons, the Emergency Motion for a Stay should be denied.

December 12, 2025 at 8:26 PM

Chris Geidner

@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

DOJ also filed a motion to stay Boasberg's contempt proceedings, seeking an order by 5p today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

EMERGENCY MOTION FOR STAY
The Government respectfully requests that this Court stay the district court’s
ongoing criminal contempt inquiry pending resolution of the Government’s petition
for a writ of mandamus, which asks this Court to terminate those proceedings and,
at a minimum, quash the district court’s December 8 order compelling two litigators
to testify, subject to cross-examination by their adversary counsel. Because those
attorneys will be forced to the stand beginning on Monday morning, December 15,
an immediate administrative stay is also required. The risk to both the separation of
powers and the attorney-client privilege is stark. In light of the timing exigencies,
the Government requests a stay, or an administrative stay, by 5 PM today.

The power Trump and allies are seeking is real — but so much of the power they claim to already have is imagined.

It's sleight of hand pushed out by lawless executive orders, by visuals like Gregory Bovino stormtrooping into city after city., and by social media tirades. Trump is a worn-out magician who still has die-hard fans but is losing his ability to keep the audience under his spell. And though House Speaker Mike Johnson is Trump's eager assistant in Congress and the Supreme Court's Republican appointees appear at times to be little more than Trump's plants in the judicial branch, the cards are starting to fall.

MOTION FOR STAY PENDING RESOLUTION OF DEFENDANTS
RECONSIDERATION MOTION AND PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This Court has compelled testimony, to begin on Monday momingofnext week, in support of its ongoing inquiry into potential criminal contempt. ECF 200. Defendants have moved for reconsideration of that order, or in the alternative for a protective order. ECF 201. Late last night, Plaintiffs filed a lengthy opposition that raises a hostofnew arguments, including sweeping claims about the waiver or vitiation of the attomey-client privilege. ECF 205. In light of the time exigency, Defendants have also filed a petition for writ of mandamus with the Court of Appeals.
Defendants now respectfully ask the Court to stay next week's proceedings pending its resolution of the reconsideration motion, and pending the D.C. Circuit's resolution of the mandamus petition.
Given that this contempt inquiry is a purely retrospective evaluation of events that occurred nine months ago, there is no reason why testimony needs to be compelled next week and before these serious issues are considered and adjudicated by this Court and the Court of Appeals.
