Judge Perry & Wells have been discussing whether the president "has to tell you what [law] he's relying on" when he deploys the #NationalGuard.
Wells explains to Perry that, the problem is, "you don't know what you're deferring to in the first instance. And then, you don't know the kind of evidentiary basis for the adequacy of that determination. That, I think, is one of the fundamental problems."

“Marwan’s donations included sponsorship of an orphan in #Palestine. And yet, some thirty years later, the government still chooses to wrongfully penalize Marwan for these ordinary acts of charity—acts which he considers obligatory to his faith.” https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-marwan-marouf-dallas-trump/

Perry: "I guess my question for you is, if that's the way of the world now, if that's the way people seem to be responding to the general state of affairs, is there any limit on 12406?"
Hamilton says yes, the statute "sets the times in which it applies."
After roughly 90 mins, Perry is done questioning Hamilton.
Perry is now questioning Christopher Wells, lawyer for the state of #Illinois, about the deployment of the #NationalGuard.
Hamilton says that's "very different."
Perry: "I agree with you about the seriousness of threats, generally, across the United States right now. I don't think there's a single public servant, really, who is not being subject to threats.
"Mine started about 10 minutes after I got this case.'"

The former President once made an offhand remark about Charles Manson’s guilt. The reaction shows how aberrant Donald Trump’s rhetoric is.

Meine #Hoffnung für einen - wenn auch angefochtenen - #Frieden basiert vor allem auf dem schnellen Aufwuchs erneuerbarer #Friedensenergien. Die #Öl- & #Gas- Rentierstaaten verlieren Einkünfte & müssen sparen bzw. in ihre eigene Zukunft investieren. Der israelische Schlag vom 9.9.25 gegen #Katar hat auch den Golfstaaten gezeigt, dass #Terror & #Krieg nur noch kosten. Also riefen sie nach #Trump. Auch den Regimen im #Iran & #Russland geht das Geld aus. https://energiewinde.orsted.de/koepfe-der-energiewende/michael-blume-antisemitismus-ressourcenfluch-oel-gas-konflikte-interview
#Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson entered the courtroom.
Judge Perry notes “we haven't talked about the words 'regular forces,'”which appear in the #law. She pushes #DOJ atty Hamilton for a definition.
Hamilton: "I think it's a reference to the status quo.
Perry quotes from a filing that says, on 9/29, the AG “directed ATF, Marshals, DEA & FBI to direct all necessary officers & agents to defend ICE facilities & personnel.”
