If Plaintiff or any Intervenor believes these deadlines are not feasible, that party shall submit to the Court by tomorrow, June 23, at 6:00 p.m., a detailed, sworn statement explaining why these deadlines are not feasible.

Correction: I thought USDC CDCA Judge Gee was just assigned the Flores case. She’s had it for a while and it’s a busy docket. This is just since February.
Somebody needs to report if Trump has been preparing this for some time. This docket is busy. 30 year old case with 436 entries. 36 in the past four months. Is Trump’s sick little MAGA Wannsee Protocol? @ADL_National @RepAdamSchiff
