  1. From the article:
    >The Trump administration said it would not provide information on how it will get a wrongly deported Maryland dad home by a Friday morning deadline because the timeframe a judge imposed was “impracticable.”

    >In effect, the Department of Justice is openly defying a court order that requires the government to provide details about 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts and how he will be brought back stateside.

    >Abrego Garcia was flown to a mega prison in El Salvador last month due to an “administrative error.” Despite the DOJ admitting to the error, it argued it did not have the authority to bring Abrego Garcia home because he was now in the custody of El Salvador.

    >Maryland District Court Judge Paula Xinis, a Barack Obama appointee, disagreed and ruled that Abrego Garcia must be returned stateside, where he has an American wife and child.

    >The issue reached the Supreme Court on Thursday. The high court, which has a conservative majority, ruled unanimously that the Trump administration must take steps to “facilitate” the return of Abrego Garcia.

    >Xinis granted an extension for the government to release a return plan on Friday—from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.—but refused to grant a request by government attorneys to push the deadline to Wednesday.

    >“This court amended its prior order and made clear what the government must do consistent with the Supreme Court’s directive,” she said in court Friday, according to Politico.

  5. The administration willfully defying the Supreme Court means they are in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America. They are willful traitors.

    Just saying.

    Edit: To all the Pro-Trump folks dropping shit emotes on posts that call out the administration when they do something that flagrantly violates human rights?

    You’re the problem.

  6. What’s the likelihood he’s either dead or they can’t find him?

  7. If you or I had an attorney act the way that DOJ attorney Drew Ensign is today then our attorney would be put in jail for contempt of court until he decided to talk.

    Another example of the unfair justice system in this country.

  8. Such a no-brainer that, in normal circumstances, this shouldn’t even be considered politics.

    In normal times anyone would be thrilled to get an innocent American life back from a foreign prison.

    They celebrate any time a prisoner swap is arranged, fist pumping “we got them back safely”.

  10. The government reps shouldn’t be leaving the courtroom. They should be held in contempt.

  11. Donald Trump claimed he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not “lose any voters.”

    He is bound and determined to prove it.

  12. SCOTUS has already given donald a get out of jail free card. Don’t know how SCOTUS will deal with this, but they must deal. If they fail to deal with it, they would have been broken as a functional guardrail in the country.

    Once again, congress is the key here. the mere fact that mikey johnson has held his own johnson in the corner while all of this happens is just stunning. Mid terms can not get here soon enough.

  13. Trump’s justice department is saying that because they consider themselves to be “the law”, nobody can order them what to do. Pam is there to do the bidding of her benefactor in the Oval Office. And lest anyone forget what happens to AG’s who don’t do his bidding, anyone heard from Jeff Sessions lately?

  15. Given the odd images from Google Earth linked yesterday of the El Salvadoran prison, I’m gonna go with dead…unfortunately.

  18. If we’re ignoring the Supreme court now, I’m not paying my student loan anymore. Fuck this hypocrisy from the right.

  19. They really do NOT want to make this into their Fort Sumter…

    This felon couldn’t get through the first 100 days without tanking the economy, destroying the federal govt, alienating our allies, and defying court orders …

    All the money in the world and he’d rather be in prison. So be it.

  20. They need to take away Trump’s immunity by revisiting that terrible judgment. Before anyone asks, yes they can do that. Just doesn’t happen often.

  21. Bernie and AOC should make a trip to El Salvador with reps from all of the world media outlets and hold daily press conferences until he is released.

  22. They absolutely DO NOT want a first hand account of his deportation and the conditions of the prison. They’ll ensure he is dead before they let that happen.

  23. Never imagined we’d be disappearing people like a third world country so quickly. But here we are and in a sickening, sad way it’s almost expected. 

  25. Isn’t Pam Bondi in charge of the DOJ? If she’s refusing the order her bar should be suspended pending an investigation for her breaking the law.

  26. It’s going to come down to this: I think he has been deceased for a while. They will do everything….EVERYTHING possible to delay going to get him, while they concurrently double down on the gang involvement fairy tale and probably fabricate an evil history for this man. Watch. They’ll suddenly have a bunch of previously uncited sources which they’ll say is undeniable proof that this guy was actually a hardened criminal. They HAVE to do this, because if they don’t hang onto what they see is the moral high ground, this could end up being very bad for the administration. They won’t let it be bad for the administration. It will be up to us to hold them accountable if this poor man is no longer alive.,

  27. “We have judges that are out of control that say, ‘Oh bring him back, bring him back.’ We don’t want him back.”

    – looks like someone needs to be hauled into jail for civil contempt until he complies with the court order.
