DOJ goes to the D.C. Circuit, essentially saying Chief Judge Boasberg acted improperly by … asking questions about whether they followed a court order. This is wildly uncalled for and should be immediately rejected. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41844/gov.uscourts.cadc.41844.01208720727.1.pdf
The district court's hasty public inquiry into these sensitive national security matters-with no contemplated protections against disclosure of operational details—underscores the urgency of immediate relief from this Court, including an immediate administrative stay that would allow

further briefing to unfold in an orderly and appropriate manner and prevents the district court from further efforts to interfere with President Trump's core Article II authorities, including the conduct of foreign policy. This Court should also immediately reassign this case to another district court judge given the highly unusual and improper procedures—e.g. certification of a class action involving members of a designated foreign terrorist organization in less than 18 hours with no discovery and no briefing from the Government-that have been employed in the district court proceedings to date.
Respectfully submitted,

DREW C. ENSIGN
Deputy Assistant Attorney General
