Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)

On September 9, 2026, Respondents permitted Pablo F. to exit the building where
he was detained, but he was immediately swarmed by four ICE officers and handcuffed as
soon as he stepped outside. (Doc. No. 25-3 at 4:48:45–4:49:26.)3
The officers drove him
to the back of the Whipple building and returned him to a holding cell. (Doc. No. 21 ¶¶ 8–
9; Doc. No. 25 ¶ 5.) During this encounter, officers dislocated Pablo F.’s shoulder. (Doc.
No. 21 ¶ 7.)4
Pablo F. now bringsthis Motion seeking to enforce the Court’s Order granting
the Petition.

Again, Respondents make no attempt whatsoever to support their assertion that
Pablo F. was released. Absent any such argument, the Court cannot agree that a reasonable
person would have felt free to leave when exiting the detention facility and immediately
being stopped by ICE officers. Likewise, absent some argument, the Court necessarily
concludes that Pablo F. was subject to restraints not shared by the public generally when
he took one step outside of the detention facility and was immediately stopped by ICE
officers who forcibly returned him to a detention cell. Because Respondents do not make
any legal argument that Pablo F. was ever meaningfully released from custody, the Court
grants the motion and orders Pablo F.’s release.6
6 To be clear, Pablo F. is not arguing, and the Court is not concluding, that an order of
release in a habeas matter renders unlawful any future arrests. Rather, the Court reaches
the narrow conclusion that because Respondents advance no legal argument in this case to
support their assertion that Pablo F. was released from custody, and because the
uncontested facts show that ICE officers immediately swarmed Pablo F. as soon as he
stepped out of the building, Pablo F. was not released from custody.

The American planning profession gave up on actually, you know, planning cities in the mid-20 century, in favor of incoherently micromanaging private development to death. Decades of piling rules upon rules, each one developed to react to some perceived harm or grievance, and this is what you get:

People are going to clown on this but we need to remember that planning for local context is important: a city with Los Angeles, California’s semi-arid Mediterranean climate only gets sunshine ~300 days a year; so it’s important to make sure you can never ever find shade in the middle of the day.

One year ago today, my City eliminated minimum parking requirements for multifamily housing. One year later: the sky didn’t fall. Most projects still include parking. But some infill housing is finally moving forward where parking mandates once made it infeasible. 📍Salem, MA

It can lead to good conversations but also to the trap of trying to bring logic to a feelings fight with a 4 year old. But it also sometimes gets *me* to recognize that the reason I'm demanding something is, "Because you're annoying me," not safety or necessity. And then I can take a deep breath.

Oh, I feel this! I have this story I've long told myself (I think mostly true) that my parents, in raising me, ~never said, "Because I said so." Rules were enforced, but it was okay to question them and boy did I. Now I'm a parent trying not to be an arbitrary tyrant, and that is hard some days!

My strong feeling is that while the actual numbers are totally negotiable, Minnesota's overall economic positioning as a high tax/high service state is unassailable. We cannot compete if we offer the same low tax/low service economic strategy as warmer states. We need to differentiate ourselves.

Not just California. The nostalgia-to-NIMBYism pipeline is a thing everywhere. I think some subset of people are just wired this way—basic human discomfort with aging and change, combined with a cranky or combative personality. And social media lets them find and validate each other.

How much disparity is there within the district in perceived school quality / reputation? I think there's a "tipping point" aspect re: how many families are content with their neighborhood school. Troubled districts can enter a death spiral of falling enrollment as motivated families opt out.

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

There are many parents who are (because of their own education, resources, and status) well equipped to be strong advocates for school quality, for public schools, and for disadvantaged students. Almost all of those parents will do what they think is right for their own kids first and foremost.

020

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

But parents are never wrong for being advocates for their own kids, at the end of the day. Whether it's putting their kid in the school with accelerated curriculum and high test scores, or those who flee to charters or private schools because they perceive their local public school as unacceptable.

100

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

It also doesn't mean we should stop challenging misconceptions about what a "bad" school is. K-12 rankings are BS that overwhelmingly reflect the affluence and advantages of the student body, not the quality of school instruction or resources. More parents need to understand this and reflect on it!

110

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This does NOT mean, "Pour resources into those schools to the detriment of neighborhood schools, or of schools serving more disadvantaged kids." Just that we need to think about how to use the "desirable" (rightly or wrongly) schools as a vehicle to stabilize and improve the district as a whole.

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I just don't think any large urban public school district can afford not to offer the "premium" option that will retain those parents who are looking for it, who have lots of choice and lots of clout, regardless of what you think of their elitism. You need your Lowells and Stuyvesants.

200

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I've seen things like Gifted and Talented (awful branding, but that's the most common term) programs lambasted as elitist. I chafe at that, as a product of one of those schools who would have been bored out of my mind at my neighborhood elementary, so maybe it's my cognitive dissonance talking.

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

A strong academic reputation is the thing that will get rich, highly-involved parents to put their kids on the bus to that school from halfway across town. (Of course, also make proactive efforts to get more kids from disadvantaged backgrounds for whom the program would be a good fit to enroll!)

100

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Community-serving programming (continuing ed, child care, rec center, etc.), tutoring and community-service programs, partnerships with neighborhood nonprofits and businesses, there's a lot you can do. Make that school a hub for positive outreach to the community, not a walled fortress.

100

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Any real path forward requires harnessing that behavior for socially positive ends, rather than trying to prevent it. One thing a big urban district can do is site the "premium" programs and schools, physically, in low-income, under-resourced communities. And intentionally build neighborhood ties.

210

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

IMO it's basically a constant in the school quality / integration debate that well-resourced parents *will* seek out a "premium" education for their kids. If they can't get this in their school district, they'll opt out of public schools or of the city, either way to the detriment of those schools.

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

On the rare occasions when I drop off or pick up by car, I like to park a block away and walk up to the building. It's just an immeasurably better experience. We can chat about the day, wave to other families, pet their dogs. Nobody either hurrying us along or holding us up.

Looking at this graph, I thought, St Paul doesn't look as bad as I would expect. Then I looked at the paper and this table is enlightening. Among Midwestern cities studied, StP issued the fewest permits per 100k and had the longest total development time. Both by a good margin.

I've seen two Pennsylvanians argue about whether Scranton or Erie was shittier - each on behalf of their own hometown, because being from the shittiest place in PA was meant to be a point of chip-on-the-shoulder pride. This attitude also explains Philadelphia sports culture as far as I can tell.

It's awful. Bunch of states racing to copy the disaster California inflicted on itself nearly a half century ago with Prop 13. Property taxes are somewhat uniquely vulnerable to this kind of populist tax revolt, but yeah, there's a combo of reasons that we're seeing a surge of them right now.

Normally people flood into boomtowns seeking upward mobility, plentiful jobs and high wages. Detroit's population more than doubled in the 1910s as the auto industry took off. Because the Bay Area doesn't build enough housing, the rewards of the tech boom accrue to homeowners and landlords instead.

Boomtown without the boom: During the 2010s, when San Francisco's economy was a juggernaut growing 10% per year, the SF metropolitan area was only the 26th-fastest growing US metro (and San Jose was 29th). From 2010 to 2016, San Francisco permitted one unit of housing for every 13 new jobs.

We have 2 vehicles: my e-bike (with seating for both kids) and a plug-in hybrid electric minivan. We basically never use gasoline in the summer unless we take a road trip. Winter is tougher (the Pacifica uses gas more and gets much worse MPG, and roads aren't always ice- and snow-free for biking).

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

The potential affordability gains from policy that makes it easier for a 2-car family to become a 1-car family are enormous. And by the way, e-bikes *dramatically* lower the bar of difficulty / lifestyle adjustment involved in making that jump, even in a lot of suburban areas.

My hope is that the Twin Cities' ability to demonstrate to the nation that we're a place that will stand up for and protect our own proves stronger in the long run. Welcoming immigrants is a core part of our local identity, and they can't take that from us. Metro Surge only strengthened it.

Daniel Herriges @dpherriges.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Fucking awful. And let's be clear: ICE operates the way it does because Stephen Miller's vision for American cities (and that of others in this White House) is one of ethnic cleansing — he straightforwardly says so. As with every ethnic cleansing campaign, it's fear that does most of the work.

It can be easier to do suburban retrofit to an economically healthy superblock than a desolate one, and I could see this area improving in phases: with LuLuLand and a grocery store (H Mart?!) back in the Cub space, start building on outparcels and parking lots, and eventually add structured parking.

I feel conflicted like the author of this: I've got kids and nothing against LuLuLand, and an occupied building beats a vacant one. But big-box, car-oriented land use is Midway's original sin, and I'd hate for the vision of repairing that to die by repeated exception-making, born of desperation.
