       | multiple occasions in recent months," the Biden-era department
       | had moved to delay enforcement of the order and it then
       | "voluntarily moved to withdraw the order before any records were
       | produced."

       | Sounds like it just took a while for the new team to get up to
       | speed and kill this. Am I being naive?
