Jennifer L. Rochon

The Department of Homeland Security spoke about this and said that there were no plans to air additional ads, and they also asked the judge to reject the request by progressive groups for an emergency order to block the ads that have already been produced.

The U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon has ordered the Trump administration to stop using DHS funds to create or disseminate the ads and to cancel any upcoming ad slots for a two-week duration as court proceedings continue.

Now, the ads all came under fire as soon as they came out.

They feature President Trump's statements about draining the swamp, ridding the government of communists, liberating America from these villains once and for all.

The lawsuit was brought by the watchdog group Common Cause, Robert Hunter, a Democratic candidate for a seat in the Alabama State House, and a labor union in New York, and its political action committee.

The suit was one of several similar complaints, including one by the Democratic National Committee, that were filed to get the ads off the air." This quote from the judge, "Plaintiffs have demonstrated that they are likely to succeed on the merits, will suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction, the balance of the equities tip in their favor, and an injunction serves the public interest," US District Judge Jennifer Rochon of the Southern District of New York wrote.

The Trump administration had said in a court filing Saturday that the Department of Homeland Security had placed ad buys through Sunday and had told the vendor not to purchase ads beyond that day.

Judge Rochon said the plaintiff's argument was not moot, however, and ordered the Trump administration to cancel or cause to be canceled any ads from airing or being disseminated, including those set to air Sunday night.

We've been covering the case about the administration's ads.

They were ordered to be shut down by Jennifer Rochon over the weekend, but it didn't happen.

So yesterday she held a proceeding to ask why it didn't happen and also to set a schedule for the preliminary injunction, which in a way, I think, well, the administration has already said they're not doing it, but it will be enjoined, I believe.

And it's been, the TRO was extended, and there's a letter due today that we'll report on.

Speaking of Trump, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration must end an advertising campaign that spent millions of taxpayer dollars on messaging that critics argued was political, in a move by this judge that was completely political, by the way.

District Judge Jennifer Rochon granted a temporary restraining order sought by a coalition that claimed the ad campaign was an illegal misuse of funds, and directed the White House to ch- cancel any ads that were set to air, including those that were going to run over the weekend.

So the filing came forward on Saturday, and the Justice Department argued the restraining order was not needed because the alleged offended, uh, conduct will end tomorrow.

The Department of Homeland Security, just as a bit of a background on this, spent about 20 million, uh, $20 million on the campaign using money that DHS officials stated was appropriated by Congress and available for, among other things, commemorating efforts and events related to border security.
