And she was broad in her scope today.
And so we have two very powerful and poignant TROs.
But she did connect them.
I think she's going to incorporate by reference in the TRO that she's issued today the rationale and the factual
We think that 100 are already on the ground in Portland, and they were in and around the L.A.
area.
And then another 100 will be there by tonight, and the final group of 100 will arrive by tomorrow.
I do, I mean, they shouldn't be performing any official duties.
So I don't know if they're gonna be put on ice somewhere, just staying in the background and not conducting any official activity, or if they're gonna be sent back to California, whatever it is, they need to comply with the court order and they cannot be deployed to engage in any official duties in Portland.
Honored to be with you.
Thanks again for having me.
It's always great to join you.
SNAP recipients provided this information to get help feeding their families, not to be entered into a government surveillance database or be used as targets in the president's inhumane immigration agenda.
Absolutely. And first, I'm grateful that Democratic attorneys general across the nation are working together to make sure that we have a president who follows the law and complies with the Constitution. Unfortunately, we have a president who is acting in a way that's been unacceptable and abnormal. He's violated the law at a very fast pace, high volume, high speed of actions.
And we've brought 19 lawsuits in 15 weeks, more than one a week. And yesterday, within a matter of hours, we got two preliminary injunctions ordered by courts stopping some of the unlawful conduct. One is the case you were mentioning where the president sought to withhold already congressionally appropriated funding for museums, for libraries, for other agencies, critical and essential services.
And in a separate case, we got our preliminary injunction yesterday that enjoined stock prevented the president from withholding critical COVID-19 funding that went to schools to address some of the challenges that arose out of COVID-19, like learning loss and mental health issues, also technological capacity.
That funding was also congressionally appropriated, and the president does not have the right to stop it. from being sent to the states after it's already been appropriated. So some good wins yesterday. And that's been our hallmark so far.
We've been winning our cases, broadly speaking, getting injunctions, temporary restraining orders, stopping the president from his unconstitutional and unlawful activity.
Talk to us about that lawsuit. While not surprising, unfortunately, it's always shocking when you think about it as a human being and the common sense, science-based, evidence-based, data-driven steps that we've taken to save lives, extend life, improve people's health. We're a long way away from waste, fraud, and abuse here. These are the opposite of waste, fraud, and abuse.
These are core, essential, critical services that, as you rightfully say, save people's lives. And there's this ongoing attempt to dismantle critical agencies at the education department, health and human services, and the critical services that they provide. They're dismantling them, they're firing employees, they're pulling away our resources and critical services.
