SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 18 – The public charge
case, New York State et al.
versus US Department of
Homeland Security, was on for
a hearing on May 18 before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge George B. Daniels.
The
first plaintiffs' speaker said
COVID-19 shifts the balance of
equities, with hospital(s) in
Central Park.
Judge Daniels said, I issued
an injunction, the Supreme
Court stayed my injunction.
You asked the Supreme Court to
clarify. Their order was two
and a half lines. You're not
asking me to stay the Supreme
Court order, are you?
The
plaintiffs' lawyer replied,
DHS posted an alert, solely on
their website, about
immigrants getting testing and
treatment. [Inner City Press tweeted
the order here.]
Another plaintiffs' lawyer
argued that the Supreme
Court's order meant it thinks
Second Circuit might uphold
the District Court's
stay.
Judge Daniels
asked, Was that even argued
before the Supreme Court? They
determined you may have not
yet the requirements for a
stay.
Plaintiffs' counsel: The theme
of defendants' motion to
dismiss is that our
organizations which have
diverted resources don't have
a way to be heard by your
Honor. That can't be right.
After a bathroom break for the
court reporter, and two and a
half hours, the arguments
ended without a decision, as
in another immigration case in
the afternoon. This case is
State of New York et al. v. US
Department of Homeland
Security, 19-cv-7777
(Daniels).
