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.

    Yes, I think this is a first test to see how far they can stretch things with the law and deport people without justification at all.
    By extension it tests the current regimes ability and efficiency on how easily they can remove people. When it is clear there are no legal roadblocks and delays the shipping containers and “train transports” will come out…

    Also, I don’t think he’s dead, might have been beaten and barely fed.
    But they most likely will have no knowledge about his status or direct whereabouts at all, might even be handed over to El Salvador’s prison anonymously. Regimes in such prisons usually strip all identity anyway.

      Yep. Why keep track of the prisoners you never plan to let out?

      None of them can ever be allowed to return, my money’s on elon’s little orange helper having recorded a message that’s played for the disappeared people outlining how they don’t fit into his idea of a country and are going there to die, or something very similar, it fits the sadistic shit that’s been being put out by the administration with their fascist ASMR videos and whatnot.

      wants to be hitler but doesn’t want his base to stop arguing that he’s jesus.

        Too much effort. This administration is populated first and foremost by unobservant and intellectually stunted pragmatists and yes-men.

        That sort of psychological warfare is effectively outsourced and you interact with it every day.
