COURTHOUSE,
March 25 – Yunseo Chung filed
on March 24 seeking a
temporary restraining order
against detention and removal.
At 3 pm on March 25 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Senior Judge Naomi Reice
Buchwald held an emergency
hearing. Inner City Press was
there. Thread:
All rise!
Judge Buchwald: On the
requested TRO, what is the
government's position?
Longtime SDNY /
DOJ lawyer Jeffrey Oestericher
: Our client does not
consent.
Judge: Take bail
as an example: she's not a
danger or a risk of
flight.
SDNY's
Oestericher: This is not
permissible under the
INA
Judge: I
understand the Secretary of
State signed a piece of paper.
But I'd need briefing... The
District Court doesn't usually
deal with immigration.
SDNY's
Oestericher: I take your point
but I am constrained, I cannot
consent Judge: I
understand. I used to have
your job… I'm prepared to sign
the TRO, not preliminary
injunction
Oestericher: Give
me a moment... Why is point 3
needed?
Judge: No trips
to Louisiana, as in that other
case in this court [Mahmoud
Khalil]
Oestericher:
We'll file by April 11. I'm
constrained to lightly
object. Judge: Then they
get two weeks, April 29. I
have a non-jury trial starting
then - so oral argument May 20
at 11 am.
