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 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.”
