   @Nonilex put ensign in a holding cell. Nothing is getting their attention. Start "losing track" of their lawyers until they answer simple questions. We have been doing this for 8 years now, judges need to figure it the fuck out

     Judge: I hope you will in good faith comply & we'll take it from there. But I know I want daily updates until this is resolved. Do you have any alternative suggestions for me, Mr. Ensign?

     Ensign wants a declaration due by Monday close of business, not daily.

     Judge: My order is daily updates

     Judge: I don't understand why these questions can't be answered today. But maybe you can answer them for me by 5PM tomorrow.

     And we'll go ahead and set a follow up hearing for the day after govt files the declaration I previously requested

     Ensign repeats that deadlines are impracticable but that they intend to comply w/ #SCOTUS order.

     And that's it. Hearing over. Judge will enter written order in due course.

     Garcia's counsel says daily status updates would be appropriate and they would respond as needed very quickly to each update.

     Ensign [#DOJ] says government intends to comply with #SCOTUS order, but court deadlines not practicable

     Judge: Then you can tell the public that every day in status updates

     Judge: What to do w/the govt saying we can't do this before Tues?

     Plaintiff's counsel says govt has't provided factual basis for why they can't provide info/comply w/order before that

     Judge: What I'm contemplating is very quick briefing order and order of compliance. Govt, she says, just so we're clear: There are no business hours in this court. And if we need to I'm going to require daily status updates on what if anything the govt is doing or not doing.

     Now plaintiff's counsel up...

     Says court's order was sufficiently clear, defendants did not comply, leave the remedy in the discretion of the court.

     "It quite clear...the defendants are playing a game with their own lawyers."

     Court should order people w/ personal knowledge before court.

     Judge: "We're not gonna slow walk this. We're not re-litigating what #SCOTUS put to bed."

     Ensign: We believe due regard requires our to hear from us before any amended order be issued.

     Ensign: We disagree fundamentally on the status of the court's order. #SCOTUS said the deadline is no longer effective.

     Xinis: Because the admin allowed the deadline to pass. So now you have a new amended order, which makes clear you have to facilitate return.

     Ensign: Due regard for the executive means at a minimum you are required to hear from executive in a written brief before any order could become effective again

     Judge says no, that's not right, basically.

     Judge: Easy way to combat that is to communicate what they've done to you. And if they can't, they need to put that in writing.

     Judge to Ensign: That you don't know suggests you don't have a full and effective relationship with your client. So can you explain why you don't have personal knowledge?

     Xinis: And while you do that, the irreparable harm continues. Is anyone moving w/any speed on your end? #SCOTUS has spoken -- quite clearly.

     Judge Xinis says it's not unreasonable to ask for this info.

     Ensign says that the govt could have some info/responses by Tues, as they requested. Says might involve invocations of privilege, but doesn't know.

     Ensign: Plaintiffs have said he was known to be in #ElSalvador, no evidence to contradict that

     Judge: So there's no evidence where he is today, that's extremely troubling

     Judge moves on: What steps has the govt taken thus far to facilitate return? Notes there was a period of several days in which her order to return him was in effect. What have the defendants done?

     Ensign: Not prepared to share that info, still evaluating

     Judge: Communicate this to your client: If they don't communicate any evidence to you as their representative that you can communicate to the court, then there is no evidence.

     The hearing has started.

     Via Anna Bower:

     Drew Ensign, who has represented the gov in the JGG matter before Judge #Boasberg, is here for #DOJ.

     Judge #Xinis begins by explaining why we're here: #SCOTUS ruled, & directed the court to clarify its order re: "effectuating" the return of #KilmarAbregoGarcia.

     Xinis: Contrary to what the govt put in its briefing, there is no need for further briefing. Now I need to know if the defendants are willing to answer my 3 questions I've asked...

     Number one. Why did defendants not comply with order & give me someone with personal knowledge about Mr. Abrego Garcia's current location/status?

     Ensign: We've said what we can say....

     Judge: What info do you have?

     Ensign: I do not have that info

     Judge: The govt is going on record saying it has no info Garcia’s whereabouts?

     Ensign: I'm saying I don't have that info as an officer of the court, clients have not provided that info to me as of today

     In a filing ~45 mins after the deadline had passed, #DOJ lawyers wrote:
     
“In light of the insufficient amount of time afforded to review the Supreme Court’s Order following the dissolution of the administrative stay in this case, Defendants are not in a position where they 'can’ share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality.”

     This is another escalation of the #Trump admin’s refusal to acknowledge the #equal #power of the #JudicialBranch.

     The 9:30 deadline has passed with no information from the Justice Department about Abrego Garcia's location or status, as demanded by the judge. She has not granted an extension, unclear if she will.

     Abrego Garcia's attys urged the judge to reject #DOJ’s request for delay. They argue the #Trump admin has been under order to begin facilitating Abrego Garcia's return for multiple days before #SCOTUS' stay Mon.

     https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815.54.0.pdf

     “This Court's order to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return was issued one week ago. It was not stayed until Monday afternoon. Accordingly, the Govt should have been taking actions Fri, Sat, Sun, & Mon morning, & the Govt can report on those.”

     #Trump #DOJ on #SCOTUS ruling:

     “As the Supreme Court correctly recognized, it is the exclusive prerogative of the President to conduct foreign affairs. By directly noting the deference owed to the Executive Branch, this ruling once again illustrates that activist judges do not have the jurisdiction to seize control of the President's authority to conduct foreign policy.”

     That is NOT what SCOTUS said.
     Clearly Trump plans on leaving #KilmarAbregoGarcia in #CECOT.

     #SCOTUS’ decision was unanimous. Additionally it suggests someone held overseas can still be given due process.
     Ya think? Especially given that the #Trump admin is paying #ElSalvador to detain the *deportees*

     This may be consequential for Judge #Boasberg’s contempt proceedings in the #Trump admin’s refusal to abide by his court order to turn around the planes & immediately stop all #AlienEnemiesAct #deportations.

     In this decision. #SCOTUS unanimously rejected the argument that a district judge lacks power to order gov to facilitate return once planes leave US jdx. That was the admin’s main rationale for defying the court’s written order.

     There is going to be a whole lot of arguing about what "facilitate" means / entails.

     #SCOTUS writes:

     The order properly requires the Government to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador

     #KilmarAbregoGarcia, a Salvadoran migrant who was living in Maryland & has had a work permit since 2019, was stopped & detained by #ICE officers on March 12 & questioned about his *alleged* gang affiliation. He was deported on March 15 on one of three high-profile #deportation flights to #ElSalvador that also included alleged Venezuelan gang members.

     🚨🚨🚨 #SCOTUS declined on Thurs to block a judge's order requiring #Trump's #administration to facilitate the return to the UnitedStates a Salvadoran man who the government has acknowledged was deported in error to #ElSalvador.

     US District Judge Paula Xinis on April 4 issued an order that the administration return #KilmarAbregoGarcia, in response to a lawsuit filed by the man & his family challenging the legality of his #deportation.
