BREAKING: In responding to one of two lawsuits challenging the legality of the Trump-praising DHS propaganda ads, DOJ tonight does not defend the ads on the merits — instead arguing that the ads are set to end on Sunday, so there will be no irreparable harm. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Plaintiffs' motion should be denied because the alleged improper final agency action of which they are complaining "run[ning] partisan political ads, funded by U.S. taxpayers," Plaintiffs' Brief in Support of Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Section 705 Stay (Pls. Br.") (ECF No. 26) at 1-will not continue past tomorrow, the date on which briefing on their motion for a TRO will close. As such, Plaintiffs cannot demonstrate that a TRO is necessary to prevent imminent irreparable harm to them from Defendants' future conduct.

This is truly horrifying and somewhat predictable. That said, I am a little concerned at how much this is doing the Supreme Court’s work for them by saying they “effectively ratified” this. At most, it was a likelihood standard. And the appeals courts shouldn’t be suggesting more than that.

#OTD in 1944, the Seattle Times reports that Pvt. Masao Kuroki and Eugenie Sperling were married yesterday. The ceremony was performed by an Army chaplain at Fort Lawton, where Kuroki is stationed. The couple's story has been syndicated to newspapers across the country. 🗃 #skystorians
"Miss Sperling Becomes Bride Of Pvt. Kuroki"
The former Eugenie Sperling, the 19-year-old white girl who was wooed and won by a young Japanese-American soldier and would let nothing stand in the way of their marriage, was Mrs. Masao G. Kuroki today.
Records disclosed that Miss Sperling and Private Kuroki, 24, were married yesterday afternoon by a chaplain at the Seattle Army post at which Kuroki is stationed.
The Seattle Times, October 10, 1944Denied a parental blessing for the interracial union. Miss Sperling defied her mother and came to Seattle from Spokane to be married. Denied a waiver of the three-day prenuptial waiting period required in this state, the young couple waited until their marriage license became valid yesterday. Denied a pass from his post, Kuroki summoned his pretty fiancee there, and they were married.
Miss Sperling, who, being more than 18, did not require the approval of her parents to be married remarked somewhat bitterly before the ceremony: "I thought marriage was a private affair!" and added: "Sure, I'm happy."

Q can i leave if i think im being carjacked in nyc - Private
What You Should Do
• Drive away immediately: If you are stopped at a light or in traffic and notice a suspicious person approaching your vehicle, and the path ahead is clear, hit the gas and drive away.
• Keep doors locked and windows up: Always keep your doors locked and windows rolled up just enough to prevent someone from reaching inside. Leave enough space between your car and the vehicle in front of you so you can maneuver out if you get boxed in. ®
• Avoid staged ruses: If someone bumps your car from behind or pretends to be a stranded motorist, do not get out of your vehicle. Drive slowly to a well-lit public area, a gas station, or a police precinct instead.
R.E.D.D. Driving S... +2
• Do not resist if cornered or threatened: If a carjacker is already confronting you with a weapon or physical force, safety experts and the NYPD Crime Prevention Tips advise prioritizing your life over the vehicle. Do not fight or escalate.
University of Penn... +1
• Call 911 immediately: Once you reach a safe location, call emergency services and report the incident, giving your exact location and a description of the suspect.
YouTube +1A court will consider two other elements: the Castle Doctrine and the Duty to Retreat. Laws in New York recognize these two similar doctrines.
Any New Yorker facing physical harm has a duty to retreat. This means that they must take reasonable steps to leave or flee the potential confrontation. A court will examine whether someone took steps to reduce the risk of harm before using dead ly force. There are many situations where someone at risk of being harmed may not readily know of a safe escape route. Indeed, often in the chaos of a random shooting, the targets of that attack have little, if any time, to consider an escape route.

5th Cir. issues a rare Saturday order. Holds that the Supreme Court's stay in D.V.D. forecloses a stay of removal for a Senegalese man with witholding of removal to Senegal who DHS intends to immediately deport to Sierra Leone. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
Separately, the Supreme Court has effectively ratified third-country removal of the sort that Gakou faces when it granted certiorari in a case raising the issue while still explicitly permitting the government to continue with third-country removals unabated pending full resolution on the merits.  See DHS v. D.V.D., Nos. 26-426, 26A406 (U.S. Sept. 29, 2026) (per curiam).  As a result, Gakou’s claim to an injunction against his removal to a country besides Senegal is unavailing and cannot be used to support the stay he currently seeks. Because Gakou has not demonstrated any meaningful probability of success on the merits, he is not entitled to a stay.  The emergency motion for a stay pending appeal is DENIED.
