As I understand it, longstanding policy of the Department of Justice. Yes, that we generally, as it was phrased to me, generally respect circuit precedent, but not necessarily in every case. And some examples might be a situation where we're litigating to try and get that circuit precedent overruled and so forth.

And again, and I think in the vast majority of instances, our practice has been to respect the opinion as well. in the circuits as well. But my understanding is that has not been a categorical practice in the way respect for the precedents and the judgments of the Supreme Court has been.

So you can imagine a number of ways that the federal officials could. Such as? Such as they could require a showing of documentation, showing legal presence in the country.
