- In its filing, the DOJ misquoted the Supreme Court’s mandate, altering its language and erroneously referring to the 'United State.'
- Judge Paula Xinis continues to demand daily updates on the government’s efforts to comply with judicial orders, which remain unfulfilled.
- The case highlights tensions between judicial authority, executive resistance, and human rights concerns in immigration enforcement.
