The federal judge overseeing the case of a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador said she would allow for expedited fact-finding to help her figure out whether the Trump administration is complying with her order that it “facilitate” his return from one of the country’s notorious mega-prisons.
That’s what the article states. She’s mandating two weeks of intense discovery, which will lead to contempt of court if they cannot prove they have done everything in their power to return him.
Honest question: if the administration’s defense is shrugging because he’s in another country, doesn’t the judge have an easy layup to shut down CECOT deportations?
They can’t have it both ways, either follow due process or keep your slave detention camps domestic. It’s not interfering in foreign policy to point out they need to choose.
She did, with an injunction that they are continuing to defy. That’s another contempt of court charge. She has to do this slowly and methodically to prevent giving them evidence of bias when they appeal her rulings. The downside to a just court is the pace. Had we a functional Congress that wasn’t packed with loyalists, this would’ve been over by now.
Lot of shit gon happen in a fortnight.
I fear Trump will just ask his buddy Bukele to kill the guy, out of sheer spite.
“Way ahead of you, boss.”
Oh so you just want a president to smuggle another president into the country?
(Disingenuous ass with that BS he unloaded in the Oval the other day, pretending like he was being asked to bring Xi, Vlad, & Kim to Guantánamo)
The death of several innocent prisoners, for example
Like people are going to run around, building stuff and doing dances? I don’t know, I don’t play it…
Nothing’s gonna happen. Stop dreaming.
Trump is above justice and so are his billionaire goons. Justice is only for pariahs.
Yeah, why don’t we all just roll over and die at their feet.
I get the sentiment but we really don’t need a Debbie Downer.
If it makes you feel any better, he’s only above legal justice. There’s still a sliver of hope.
He’s speaking the facts. The sooner yall come to terms with that and plan accordingly the better.
Who is “yall” and who is you?
You. This “geewiz Debby downer” shit lol. Yall better learn to be militant about this shit.
Maybe you replied to the wrong person? Maybe you misunderstood? When I said “shit”, I meant shit.
I misread your comment then. Apologies.
