What-the-ever-loving-fuck? #Trump propagandist Karoline Leavitt is inventing shit out of whole cloth here!
Never, has there ever been even a mention of human trafficking in #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s past. Never. Not ever.

Interpreting the term “facilitate” in that manner, #KilmarAbregoGarcia's attorneys argued, would render "null" #SCOTUS’ order that the government facilitate his release.
“To give any meaning to the Supreme Court’s order, the Government should at least be required to request the release of Abrego Garcia. To date, the Government has not done so.”

“The Government contends that the term ‘facilitate’ is limited to ‘remov[ing] any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here.’ Not so. #SCOTUS ordered the Govt ‘to ‘facilitate’ Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador & to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador,’” lawyers wrote in a Tues brief.

Ahead of this afternoon’s hearing, lawyers for #KilmarAbregoGarcia accused the #Trump admin of violating a #SCOTUS order demanding that officials “facilitate” his release from a Salvadoran prison. “There is no evidence that anyone has requested the release of Abrego Garcia,” the lawyers wrote. The two sides are scheduled to gather at 4PM in Federal District Court in Maryland.

#StateTerror
A brief guide for Americans
Yesterday the president defied a #SCOTUS ruling to return a man who was mistakenly sent to a gulag in another country, celebrated the suffering of this innocent person, & spoke of sending Americans to foreign #ConcentrationCamps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, & it has to be identified as such to be stopped.

Thinking about... · State Terror
If democracy dies, it will be the Supreme Court's fault.
Trump has defied the #SCOTUS , plans to start deporting citizens to the El Salvadoran concentrations camps and has gutted several federal agencies in the past week.
Meanwhile, the S&P500 is up 9% in the past five days - seemly all because Trump "temporarily" rolled back just SOME OF his own insane tariffs.
Last night, US Judge Sweeney in Colorado granted a district-wide (state-wide) class #habeas #TRO to stop #Trump from summarily removing *aliens* under his #AlienEnemiesAct proclamation. #ACLU attys had warned that, despite #SCOTUS ruling, Admin won't commit to providing even 24 hrs notice.

Supreme Court justices #Kagan and #Jackson went to Harvard (as undergraduates and law students). So did Roberts and Gorsuch (undergrads and law, as well). I think we can guess what the first two think of Harvard's excellent decision to refuse to get in line with Trump's demands. I wonder what the latter two think.
Maybe we'll find out.
"The only word the Supreme Court left out of its order last week to return a wrongfully deported Salvadoran migrant from the prison where he is being held in El Salvador was “'please'.”

Laut #CNN widersetzt sich #Trump dem #SCOTUS nicht:
"Importantly, the Supreme Court noted that the clarification needed to be made with “due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.” "
Dieser butterweiche Satz, mit dem der Fall zurück ans Bundesgericht verwiesen wird, ist alles andere als ein Imperativ für den Präsidenten. Deshalb haben die liberalen Richter auch Zusatzanmerkungen gemacht.

No, you can't and no, you shouldn't. But pretrial confinement this time and since Trump graciously made his crimes in writing, a conviction isn't an issue.
Keep in mind: conspiracy for mass abductions of lawful US residents is not a function of POTUS in any shape or form.
Trump is not immune from this.

The US may also consider to hand Trump over to the Hague and let prosecutor Jack Smith have the honor
I think it bears repeating until viral:
If #Trump and his 
-cabinet can justify their actions abusing an 18th century War Powers act then,
So, too, should they be prosecuted and sentenced for War Crimes under the same Act.
