Hussein 's lawyers filed documents Friday afternoon asking for an emergency restraining order aimed at stopping the U.S. government from relinquishing custody of the condemned former Iraqi leader to Iraqi officials , a spokeswoman for a federal court in Washington D.C. said . ACORN leaders were present as lawyers returned to court in Washington D.C ., where the judge also demanded that the government provide a meaningful explanation for the families who were cut off from assistance . It was with these comments in mind that I accepted an invitation to visit the domestic violence unit of the superior court in Washington DC last month . Such amended pleading , if permitted , shall be filed with the court either at the trial or in the office of the Clerk of the Court in Washington D.C. within such time and as directed by the Court . In today 's filing in federal court in Washington D.C ., the Attorney General is seeking court approval to begin the formal notice and claims process .
