Judge Reyes has ordered cessation of all tree removal at the golf course until at least tomorrow. Also provides remote call-in number for hearing on temporary restraining order. She wants to know, inter alia, who ordered tree removal & how long govt attys have known of this plan.

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

II. Department Policies and Practices Governing Investigative Activities in Advance of an

Election Department policies require all Department officials to “enforce the laws...in a neutral and impartial manner” and to remain “particularly sensitive to safeguarding the Department’s reputation for fairness, neutrality, and nonpartisanship.” Various policies also address investigative activities timed to affect an election and require that prosecutors and agents consult with the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section (PIN) before taking overt investigative steps in advance of a primary or general election. No Department policy contains a specific prohibition on overt investigative steps within a particular period before an election. Nevertheless, various witnesses testified that the Department has a longstanding unwritten practice to avoid overt law enforcement and prosecutorial activities close to an election, typically within 60 or 90 days of Election Day. We discuss relevant Department policies and practices below.

The takeaway is that she'll extend the TRO until at least tomorrow, when she'll try to get testimony from Greg Wischer that doesn't conflict with the government counsel's travel. She may extend it further only for purposes of deciding whether to enter a further TRO.

Hear from Greg Wischer tomorrow, then extend TRO at least up through his testimony. DOJ says they want the judge to rule on the PI, which is briefed, instead (presumably because they think they'll win on the merits). Says Wischer testimony won't illuminate anything relevant.
