Summary
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 (DOJ) is openly defying a court order that requires it to provide details about 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts and how he will be brought back stateside.
“The Supreme Court has spoken quite clearly, and yet I can’t get an answer,” said Judge Paula Xinis.
“We must heed the Supreme Court and get him back,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said.
The judge needs to put Pam Bondi in a holding cell for contempt until Garcia is back in her courtroom.
pam bondi is beholden to trump, because he bribed her to drop the trump lawsuit case against him.
Cool, it’s been some time since our last constitutional crisis.
What precisely are the next steps in this process? If the SC has ruled, and they aren’t complying, do you charge the Secretary of State with contempt and send them to jail until they comply?
It doesn’t have to be the Secretary of State. It only has to be people with the authority to solve the problem. Preferably several of them.
The only way this ends in a sane world is the Supreme Court appointing marshals to arrest people.
I think you and I both know the number of bad possible outcomes outnumber the positive number of outcomes… and I think that applies to this entire presidency
I’m … tired.
In a society where The Constitution means something, yes.
…I don’t suppose there’s any hope in El Salvador stepping up to do the right thing regardless of whatever bullshit is happening in the US, is there?
He’s dead…
The judges have power to enforce it.
If they do not, then the tyranny has almost complete power.
If they do, I suspect that violence will occur. I believe this is the outcome Trump is hoping for, because then he can skip the “almost” and completely sieze it through violent means.
What the fuck are you on about. It’s their court. It was theirs already during biden. This is just a show of power at this point. ALL of the checks and balances are gone already.
They ruled 9-0 that the trump admin had to bring him back. That’s pretty significant. The only question is whether there’s an “or else.”
„Had to bring him back”. Not the wording they used, and it’s exactly about wording.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Hear hear
The entire budget for ICE +10% needs to be confiscated and paid to the victims and their families every single day until they are returned to the US.
None of those fucks get paid until all the legal residents are back. Miss 1 person? No pay.
This would be the minimum penalty on a functional government where this shit was done by accident.
Emphisis on this: the judge didn’t even order to bring him back. The judge ordered them to outline the steps to bring him back. The Trump Admin can’t even do that.
They can’t do that … in the give time frame.
Let me guess…
“Duuur how do we bring him back?”
Hmmm let me think, maybe call the place up where you sent them and arrange for them to fly back. You know, the fucking obvious thing to do.
Sorry we are very busy. We need until next Wednesday.
Seems reasonable to me.
Procrastinating when a judge has ordered you to do something is very unbecoming.
Last time a President pulled this was Jackson for the Trail of Tears. Not exactly the legacy you want to to be knocking on the door of.
Almost like the cruelty was the point.
Power grab. The judicial branch is a co-equal part of the government, along with the executive and legislative ones. Y’all protesting and marching with me…?
The government already was taken over, this won’t end without him being forcefully removed.
Start issuing arrest warrants for contempt of court to members of the administration, ICE, and any other member of any department who was involved in the process. Shotgun tactics. Go for area effect. See what sticks. This is the time for judges who actually give a shit to go all-in on the maximal exercise of their power.
Remember: Canp Auschwitz was in Poland, not Germany.
Insert Trump blanket pardon here…
Just need to have them sent to el Salvador to serve the time for a contempt charge. Then there won’t be anything that can be done (according to the very same doj lawyers)
He can’t pardon civil contempt.
Until SCOTUS says otherwise, that is.
He’s not coming back. Trump is going to Andrew Jackson this shit
Yippee, constitutional crisis #1!
Number one!? I don’t think we’re even in the double digits anymore …
It’s been a constitutional crisis, it just gets more crisisy.
So, what happens when the administration just does nothing like they have so far?
A strongly written memo will be considered.
There will be committees to recommend a review of how to word that memo, by gosh!
Don’t let the lawyers leave the court room. They should go straight to a cell for contempt.
Should. But who’s gonna send them there? Same with Trump at this point, who can arrest him?
The bailiff.
The bailiff can drag them to a holding cell.
