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.
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?
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.
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.
