SCOTUS Orders Trump Admin To ‘Facilitate’ Return Of Abrego Garcia
The Trump administration must “facilitate” the release of Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the...
9-0??
Somebody miss a payment to Clarence Thomas?
I'm guessing Roberts and Alito know the admin will ignore this court order and pushed Thomas to make it unanimous for the fight to keep the judiciary an actual branch of the government that is to follow
That’s wild, usually he can be counted on to write something about how Thomas Jefferson actually wanted everyone to get in fatal plane crashes every day.
9-0? Hell has been freezing over a lot these past couple days.
The task is impossible as he's already dead.
There will be more excuses and more delays until they do something more stupid to get your attention off that.
Importantly, they replaced the lower Court's order to "effectuate" his return with "facilitate" and defined "facilitate" as to remove any barriers to his return on the US side.
So the ruling is actually "Don't prevent the government from which he was fleeing and that is now holding him prisoner in a labor camp from flying him back to the US for asylum."
“Pinky swear you’ll put the Uber app on your phone and send him a ride.”
There is a reply by the user monstrosity with a quote in which the Supreme Court clarified that it meant effectuate, and they're holding a status meeting this morning to see what progress is made.
Curtis Yarvin, the Neil Breen of political “philosophers,” wrote that ignoring the courts is part of the plan- here’s his test case.
Oh no you're reading this wrong. SCOTUS just gave them permission. They said they must "facilitate" and that the lower courts order to "effectuate" was likely an over step.
The payload here is that facilitating means they'll send an official request that El Salvador will officially deny and then tell everyone they did everything they were ordered to do.
Thank fuck, was very worried it was a total lost cause
They did not set any conditions on his return. Trump will just ignore the order and claim to be "working on it"
Nope, news everywhere has been fucking this headline up. SCOTUS defined the government's duty as requesting his release politely and allowing him back in if El Salvador does release him. The previous ruling would have forced the state department to tell El Salvador they must do it, or else. This is a far lower standard and will not be enough to get him released because the leadership in El Salvador knows Trump doesn't want the guy to come back.
How Abrego Garcia wound up in the mix remains unclear. The Trump administration frustrated one district court’s attempts to determine what happened by invoking the state secrets privilege over basic questions about the operation; it’s only said that Abrego Garcia was wrongly removed because he was placed on an alternate manifest that failed to note the order barring his removal.
After attorneys sued on Abrego Garcia’s behalf, a district court judge in Maryland, the state in which he was detained, ordered the government to facilitate his return.
Honestly, knowing the brutality of prisons... he might be dead. In which case, not only is it a showdown between the executive and judicial branches. It would lead to actual chaos as the Right has to try to make the unjust death of a man sound noble in the name of politics and the the Left struggles to figure out what the hell you do to bring justice when no one wants to serve it.
I pray he can return home safe and sound.
...or what?
It'll go on Trump's permanent record.....which will prevent him from......well it won't prevent him from doing anything
Or the court can nominate project to enact their will.
We're putting together a team...
Facilitate, with no staff cause of DOGE.
They are going to kill him, otherwise he will talk and all the secrets will come out.
who's gonna make him?
