U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to “facilitate” his return to the United States.

Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should “remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here,” not help extract him from El Salvador.

    All these court orders don’t mean a thing, I piss on them, the courts have less honor than a goat. The courts are unwilling and/or unable to enforce their orders, and until they are willing or able, it’s just a show that’s wasting everyone’s time. The Trump administration is sending people to life in prison without a trial, without even charging folks with a crime, and the judges are standing on the side saying “but you can’t do that!” Well, guess what happy cappy, they’re doing it! So what now?
