Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.

SECOND decision. 11th Cir.: dude, it does not "render moot" your hallucinated citations and quotations by withdrawing them after opposing counsel points them out. AND ALSO YOU USED GEN AI IN YOUR REPLY. You are referred. GOOD DAY SIR media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

We are disappointed with counsel's lack of forthcoming candor.

How is it that every time a court says, "hey, did you use gen AI for your brief that has all these hallucinations?" they always double down with a reply that uses gen AI with hallucinations? Every damn time.

11th Cir.: Counsel, you responded to opposing counsel pointing out you filed a brief with eight hallucinated cases by filing a reply brief purporting to withdraw eight *different* hallucinated cases. You are referred for misconduct. Good day, sir. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

acknowledged in his (untimely) proposed reply brief that those citations were “erroneous or unverifiable,” and sought to withdraw his reliance on eight listed cases.6  At this point, things go from bad to worse: the eight cases Sabatini “withdrew” did not match a single one of the eight hallucinated cases in his opening brief.  And not only were they not the right cases—all eight were also hallucinated.

ICYMI last night, the 5th Cir. blessed the collusive settlement between Texas AG Ken Paxton and the Trump administration that overturned Texas law allowing resident noncitizens to go to college at the same price as their neighbors.

5th Cir. holds, 2-1, that it was no abuse of discretion for district judge to reject attempt by students and a college to intervene to challenge Texas and the Trump administration's collusive settlement ending in-state tuition for resident noncitizens in Texas. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

Texas settled, and the parties entered into a consent judgment that the district court approved.  Two advocacy groups, a community college, and a student sought to intervene and undo the consent judgment.  The district court denied intervention, reasoning that any attempt to intervene would be futile because the statute was preempted.  The district court correctly denied intervention after concluding that they could not plausibly defend the preemption claim.  Section 1623(a) preempts what we call the Challenged Provisions1 vis-à-vis illegal aliens, barring states from conferring postsecondary education benefits on any illegal alien based on residence unless the same benefit is available to all U.S. citizens and nationals irrespective of residency.
