Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

The “huge success” touted by mark to investors is not how the data centers perform their computational functions, but how the data centers have given the company a two billion dollar tax break. For Mark, the product “works” when it makes money.

Mark Zuckerberg tells investors that his AI push is a huge success. But when it files its taxes, Meta tells the IRS its giant data centers are an experiment that might fail. Why? Because calling them an experiment lets Meta claim a tax credit meant for real research.

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.
