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.
Emphisis on this: the judge didn’t even order to bring him back. The judge ordered them to outline the steps to bring him back. The Trump Admin can’t even do that.
They can’t do that … in the give time frame.
Let me guess…
“Duuur how do we bring him back?”
Hmmm let me think, maybe call the place up where you sent them and arrange for them to fly back. You know, the fucking obvious thing to do.
Sorry we are very busy. We need until next Wednesday.
Seems reasonable to me.
Procrastinating when a judge has ordered you to do something is very unbecoming.
Last time a President pulled this was Jackson for the Trail of Tears. Not exactly the legacy you want to to be knocking on the door of.
