Not in any way to detract from Abrego Garcia's situation, but I would appreciate if any article mentioning him *also* spoke of the fate of Andry Hernandez Romero. And honestly, I'm 111% certain there are others who are just as innocent and had just as much misfortune to be swept up in Herr Drumpkoff's purge. But these are names and faces we know of, and their stories need to be lifted up so the whole country knows what sort of evil this illicit regime is getting up to.
Trump and the MAGA are not as good as the German Nazis. They can't even do fascism right. NO disipline, NO organizational; skills, NO fashion sense. The MAGA faithful get a wrinkled T-shirt and a stupid adjustable ball cap, not a slick, perfectly tailored, starched and pressed Hugo Boss uniform and cool riding boots
Trump was on today. Spouting ridiculous lies and conspiracy theories. if you believe a word he says you are dumber and crazier than he is. As Gump would say, "That's all I have to say about that"
All these Nazi Barbis. Leavitt is Hostile Nazi Barbi. Bondi is Strident Nazi Barbi. And Noem is Cruel Nazi Barbi. And all three of them are Lying Nazi Barbis.
OK, bad joke. But still apt. Barbie was known as the Butcher of Lyon. A primo Nazi, back in the day when being a Nazi meant being a Nazi, not just cos-playing at being a Nazi.
The good news in this story is the 4th Circuit denied the government's request for a stay AND there is a concurring opinion by 2 of the judges that is a true work of art. It's long but worth the read.
"The panel unanimously agrees that the district court’s order requiring the
Government “to facilitate and effectuate the return of Plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego
Garcia to the United States by no later than 11:59 PM on Monday, April 7, 2025,” should
not be stayed. The Government’s motion to stay is, therefore, denied. I write to explain
my view.
The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is
lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without
due process. The Government’s contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal
courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable. "
I'm wondering if this (11:59 PM on Monday, April 7) is when the sh*t really hits the fan. If the administration does not comply with the judges order, then what?
They have. Saw/heard Glen Kirschner talk about it on Brian Tyler Cohen's YouTube Video last night. It's delay, delay, delay, as it always is with Trump.
"And now another scalp in the Justice Department. Attorney Erez Reuveni was placed on leave on Sunday for the disloyalty of telling a judge that the government had not given him any information on the OOPS … TOO LATE! laugh emoji! deportation of Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia"

So, if I'm to understand this correctly, whoever told him to do that was suborning perjury, which is itself a crime.
It's true that she is an evil garbage person, but who among us would not wish to Swan About?
I don't even know what that IS, exactly, but I suspect it involves lounging on a chaise longue in an ostrich feather peignoir, while Easy brings me a plate of Brie, almonds, and white grapes.
Bill Richardson, RIP, used to conduct private diplomatic missions to rescue hostages from abroad. Of course now our cursed, backward, regressive country is actively creating hostages abroad so …
She needs to be disbarred
I wonder if a raid on an El Salvadorian prison might convince other would-be nazi corraborators or back the fuck off.
Ta, Marcie. I hope that Abrego Garcia is still alive, but I won't be surprised if he's dead.

Yeah, but who's going to be Klaus Barbie?

Nazi Libelz!

Re: that video of people being deported: what a bunch of SICKOS we have running this country now. They're reveling in their nastiness.
Doesn't lying risk disbarment?
When this is over the people who are being fired will still be lawyers, and Trump's DOJ leadership will not.
"It is true that US judges cannot order the Salvadoran government to do anything."

You are technically correct [the best kind of correct].
That having been said, I am one thousand percent positive that they could have gotten him out with one phone call if they had wanted to do so.
They can lift a finger for real
I got a finger they can lift RIGHT HERE.

A few other highlights:
4 Of note, in response to the candid responses by the Government attorney to the
district court’s inquiry, that attorney has been put on administrative leave, ostensibly for
lack of “zealous[] advocacy.” Evan Perez, Paula Reid and Katie Bo Lillis, DOJ attorney

I'm wondering if this (11:59 PM on Monday, April 7) is when the sh*t really hits the fan. If the administration does not comply with the judges order, then what?
Good question. I think DOJ has filed something in the Supreme Court.
They have. Saw/heard Glen Kirschner talk about it on Brian Tyler Cohen's YouTube Video last night. It's delay, delay, delay, as it always is with Trump.
Here's the application they filed. It's long, haven't read it.

Don't be silly!
Nothing the Trump administration does 'counts' as a crime, the Supreme Court already said so!
Perhaps, but I would bet a shiny dime that if their lawyer had in fact committed perjury, he would be the fall guy.

NM Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is term limited out, maybe she can fill those shoes.
It must always be a former NM Governor. 😆
