As expected, today the government did appeal to the D.C. Circuit Judge Friedman's decision to deny its motion for a stay pending the merits appeal of Almerfedi v. Obama. The government wrote in its emergency motion for stay pending appeal that the district court's decision was error. In addition to presenting arguments about why it is entitled to a stay while the merits appeal moves forward, the government also asked for a temporary stay of the district court's release order.
