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.
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…
He can’t pardon civil contempt.
Until SCOTUS says otherwise, that is.
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)
