[ad_1] I wrote about the opinion July 7, when it was issued (see below). Just now, I saw the court issued an order stating, “A judge of this Court withholds issuance of the mandate inthis appeal.” As I read the Eleventh Circuit’s internal operating procedures, this likely means that an “active Eleventh Circuit judge” has indicated that “in the event the paneldeclines to grant rehearing, the judge requests that a poll be taken regarding en banc consideration.” This is unsurprising, given the 2-1 split on the panel and given the prominence of the case. And of course the indication of an…

Niagara Falls was never the Empire. The Everglades were never the Empire. The winding rivers of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio were never the Empire. The Great Lakes were never the Empire. The Empire was never Los Angeles or New York. Alaska, Texas, or Hawaii. The Empire was never the Declaration of Independence, the Stars and Stripes, or the Constitution.

[ad_1] Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin ordered the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Tuesday to temporarily halt vehicle stops in response to two fatal shootings less than a week apart.  The DHS originally planned to keep the directive in place until ICE officers receive additional training on conducting vehicle stops, reports CBS News. But some exceptions apply: “ICE will continue conducting vehicle stops only for those considered to be the most egregious targets with serious or violent criminal histories,” according to Fox News.  Critics of the sudden change argue the new policy will lower ICE’s arrest and removal…

[ad_1] Iranian officials told Vice President JD Vance that President Donald Trump’s lead negotiators, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, were exploiting their role for financial gain.  Drop Site News reported on Wednesday, speaking with an Iranian official who explained the message was conveyed to Vance during a meeting in June.
