LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.

Among the questions: β€œhow do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

In sharp contrast to the extraordinary harm to defendants, a stay will not substantially
injure the plaintiffs. For any plaintiff who is an importer, even if a stay is entered and we do not
prevail on appeal, plaintiffs will assuredly receive payment on their refund with interest.
β€œ[T]here is virtually no risk” to any importer that they β€œwould not be made whole” should they
prevail on appeal. See Sunpreme Inc. v. United States, 2017 WL 65421, at *5 (Ct. Int’l Trade
Jan. 5, 2017). The most β€œharm” that could incur would be a delay in collecting on deposits. This
harm is, by definition, not irreparable. See Hughes Network Sys., Inc. v. InterDigital Commc’ns
Corp., 17 F.3d 691, 694 (4th Cir. 1994). Plaintiffs will not lose their entitlement to refund, plus
interest, if the judgment is stayed, and they are guaranteed payment by defendants should the
Court’s decision be upheld. And defendants do not oppose the reliquidation of any entries of
goods subject to IEEPA duties paid by plaintiffs that are ultimately found to be unlawful after
appeal. Defendants have filed a stipulation to that effect with other importer-plaintiffs in
Princess Awesome v. CBP, No. 25-cv-78 (Ct. Int’l Trade) ECF No. 17.

Remember 9 months and 6 days ago, when there was "virtually no risk to any importer that they would not be made whole"? Peperidge Farm remembers.

Bar graph showing responses to question "Would you support or oppose abolishing ICE?" from The Economist/You Gov from June 2025 and late Feb-early March 2026. Total support for abolishing rose 23 points, among Dems 30 points, among independents 23 points, among Republicans 14 points.

Public opinion is not fixed.

And it's the job of a campaign to move people.

This bill is unworkable and likely unconstitutional for many of the same reasons that would arise if a legislature tried to ban Magic 8 Balls

No jurisdiction for the former. No to the latter, but I was admonished to get a dog by my client, my local counsel, and a very nice Maryland lawyer who stopped to chat with us in the hall about our jursidictional issue.

I appear to have returned from a hearing in a dog custody case I’m handling. (Spoiler alert: The Maryland court refused to exercise jurisdiction over a NC resident’s lawsuit against my client, a DC resident, seeking custody of the dogs who live with her in DC.)
