The 9th Circuit has administratively stayed Judge Bastian's order, meaning Roger Rogoff is out (again) as US Atty of WD Wash. So as things stand, he is fired again.

The court has received the government's emergency motion for stay pending
appeal. Dkt. No. 9. The request for an administrative stay is GRANTED. The
court's administrative stay "is only intended to preserve the status quo until the
substantive motion for a stay pending appeal can be considered on the merits, and
does not constitute in any way a decision as to the merits" of the appeal. See Doe
#I v. Trump, 944 F.3d 1222, 1223 (9th Cir. 2019).

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.
