Having filed >50 habeas cases, there is a marked difference between litigating against an actual AUSA, or the military lawyers forced into service to represent ICE, and the ICE attorneys they've slapped a "Special Assistant U.S. Attorney" sticker on. Dumb, nasty, brutish, bad losers, worse lawyers.

Yesterday, the Justice Department appointed what appears to be an ICE lawyer to handle immigration habeas cases for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Colorado. I'm not sure I've seen this before, notwithstanding the huge volume of habeas litigation here. It begs the question: how many AUSA's have left?
