U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen on Tuesday dismissed a June lawsuit filed against the judges over a standing order from the judicial district’s chief judge, George Russell, which automatically granted a two-day pause on deporting illegal immigrants if they file a habeas corpus petition challenging their detention.
