'Credulous Roberts Court Still Pretends To Believe Trump And His DOJ' [View all]

"Following the Supreme Court order last evening directing the Trump administration to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return from an El Salvadoran prison, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis of Maryland ordered the Trump administration to file a status update by 9:30 a.m. ET today from an official 'with personal knowledge' regarding:"

- the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia;

- what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s immediate return to the United States; and

- what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return.

"A short time ago, just before the filing deadline, the Trump DOJ asked for an extension until next Tuesday in a court filing that made little effort to conceal its exasperation with Judge Xinis...In the meantime, all the parties are due in court at 1 p.m. ET for a status conference that Xinis also called last night. The Trump DOJ asked that to be pushed back until next Wedenday."
