Former President Donald Trump has filed an urgent appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to prevent what his legal team describes as 'unlawful incarceration' by the New York judicial system. The appeal follows a series of legal setbacks, including a denial to remove the New York Bragg case to the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and a subsequent request to stay the order by Judge Hellerstein. Trump's legal team argues that the federal judge is ignoring compelling arguments, the US Supreme Court's immunity ruling, and the constitutional rights of President Trump and voters around the country. They emphasize that unlawfully incarcerating Trump in the final weeks of the Presidential election, while early voting is ongoing, would cause irreparable harm. The appeal is set to be heard on Friday, September 6, at 10 am ET, in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, where Trump will also be involved in an appeal regarding the E. Jean Carroll defamation and sexual abuse case.
