    When a civil action is removed solely under section 1441(a), all defendants who have been properly joined and served must join in or consent to the removal of the action.

    — 28 USC 1446(b)(2)(A)

    petitioners’ first claim, which is brought against Secretary Griswold,
    makes it clear that the Secretary is not a nominal party.

    — Chief Judge Philip A. Brimmer ruling

    The Secretary Griswold is joined and Trump did not have the Secretary sign on to the request to be removed. Therefore the request is deficient.
