Serious question. What exactly would have made this more acceptable to you?

going to go to ES and felt that the result of his trip would be beneficial to Garcia's case?? Van Hollen will go and come back before the next hearing date allowing the plaintiffs to depose him.

EDIT plaintiffs for DOJ

Bring Kilmar back with them! I wish.

The judge presiding over the case of a man who was mistakenly deported by the U.S. government to a prison in El Salvador suggested Tuesday that she was weighing contempt proceedings against the Trump administration.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered administration officials to turn over evidence of their efforts to help bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. since she first ordered them to "facilitate" his return, saying the government had not shown her anything of note on that front.

“I’ve gotten nothing,” Xinis said. “I’ve gotten no real response, and no real legal justification for not answering,” she continued, adding that if the administration is not going to answer her questions “then justify why. That’s what we do in this house.”

Attorneys for Abrego Garcia had asked that the administration be found in contempt of court over its inaction. The judge said she wants to review the evidence the administration submits, which is expected to include sworn depositions, before ruling on the matter.

She ordered officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to sit for the depositions, and for the administration to hand over documents by the end of the month to see what steps its taken to comply with her order.......................

Good lord--this means that Trump admin has not even Requested Garcia release!!

@AnnaBower
NEW: Ahead of today’s hearing before Judge Xinis in Greenbelt, counsel for Kilmar Abrego Garcia argue that the government should “at least” be required to request the release of Abrego Garcia from El Salvador.

To learn from. For next time.

Take it as far as he can this time. Take it farther next time.

Getting to the position that all innocent people have no rights. And being able to get away with it.
