U.S. District Judge William Alsup filed a statement with the U.S. Supreme Court that says the Justice Department left an “incorrect impression” in its request for a stay of his order for the disclosure of government records, the ABA Journal reports. The statement was filed in response to the DOJ’s request for the court to block his order to turn over documents regarding the government’s wind-down of the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals program. Alsup said the DOJ failed to include qualifiers when it characterized his remarks on discovery and left the “incorrect impression” that he had “endorsed unfettered discovery.”
