Update…
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said Monday that he did not plan to return to Kilmar Abrego García to the United States. “How can I return him to the United States?” Bukele asked Monday during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it.” The comments come a day after the Justice Department told a federal judge that it isn’t required to bring home a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador. Since Bukele struck a deal with Trump’s administration, he has accepted more than 200 Venezuelans deported from the U.S. in recent months and housed them in his country’s draconian mega-prison. Later Monday, Trump is scheduled to welcome the Ohio State football team to the White House to celebrate its 2025 national championship.
Note….
Trump JUST settle the case? and fuck the judge and Supreme’s?
(My BOLD)
….
The Trump Co. Lawyers move to a differnt track….
Switching the Garcia case in their presentation from an Immigration case to a Foreign Policy one….
They ARE losing the Immigration one….
And they just got cute…..
This IS probably going to need the Supreme’s to either ‘ORDER’ the President to return Garcia from El Salvador (Trump is probably working another angle with talking to the Leader of that country DIRECTLY today) or capitulate to Trump postion that Federal Judges’ have NO Say in a President’s immigration policy….
Folks?
If THIS WORK’S?
Why can’t Trump & Co. apply it other Trump/Miller/Project 2025/Musk actions?
The Trump administration on Sunday evening doubled down on its assertion that a federal judge cannot force it to bring back to the United States a Maryland man who was unlawfully deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador last month.
In a brief legal filing, the Justice Department reiterated its view that courts lack the ability to dictate steps that the White House should take in seeking to return the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, to U.S. soil, because the president alone has broad powers to handle foreign policy.
“The federal courts have no authority to direct the executive branch to conduct foreign relations in a particular way, or engage with a foreign sovereign in a given manner,” lawyers for the department wrote. “That is the ‘exclusive power of the president as the sole organ of the federal government in the field of international relations.’”
The position taken by Trump officials was not the first time they had tried to defy efforts compelling them to seek Mr. Abrego Garcia’s return from El Salvador. Still, their continued recalcitrance meant that Mr. Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old father of three, would for now remain at the CECOT prison in El Salvador, where he was sent with scores of other migrants on March 15….
…
The conflict has persisted even though the Supreme Court last week unanimously ordered the administration to “facilitate” Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release from Salvadoran custody. Trump officials have in fact already admitted that they made an “administrative error” when they put Mr. Abrego Garcia on the plane to El Salvador in the first place..
…
When the Supreme Court ruled on the case last week, it seemed at first like a victory for Mr. Abrego Garcia and his family. But the court’s order contained an ambiguous passage that Trump officials have seized on in their ongoing effort to avoid doing much of anything to ensure his return to the United States.
In their ruling, the justices agreed with Judge Xinis that the White House should do what it could to “facilitate” Mr. Abrego Garcia’s release, but they never defined the specific steps officials should take to actually “effectuate” the plan…
…
….lawyers for the Justice Department, in their filing on Sunday, said that the administration should not have to do any of that because it would intrude on dealings between the White House and the Salvadoran government….
Note…
Yes….
Trump’s lawyers and Miller ARE pushing things up the ladder to the Supreme’s where they feel they have a Better chance that the OVER 100 Federal cases AGAINST them for various policy moves that have been challanged….
Trump JUST settle the case? and fuck the judge and Supreme’s?
I see the other media types have picked up on my view that using the Foreign Affairs angle ?
Miller and Trump COULD DO whatever the FUCK THEY WANT and asshole Alito Five would stand up and CLAP…..
