Interesting.
YOU ARE EXPENDABLE! DON’T FORGET THAT!
“[W]hen this case landed on my desk, the first thing I did was ask my clients that very question. I've not received, to date, an answer that I find satisfactory,” Reuveni replied.
If the judge wants answers, he needs to have them picked up by marshals and brought to court.
He initially compared his request for one more chance to that of “the boy who cried wolf”—but quickly backtracked, saying “that’s the wrong metaphor.”
The judge's order is out, it orders Abrego Garcia returned to the US, calls his detention "wholly lawless," says government conduct "shocks the conscience," and RELIES HEAVILY ON DIRECT QUOTES FROM DOJ COUNSEL TO DO IT.

In this case, resigning gets you nothing or worse. The DOJ would have sent in some firebreather instead. This gets the truth out there.
lawyers suck and now it's not opinion
backed up with facts
thanks fascist trump regime
When this is done and over and people ( maybe ) start coming back to visit and spend our money ..... we don't just want to see pasty white people.
We like diversity!
How much further over the top does this have to get before something breaks?
We have to force North Carolina to seat the Justice its voters reelected.
We have to make Gov. Abbott call the special election he’s been avoiding.
We probably have to do all 3 of the above by showing up in person at the appropriate offices. And staying there.
1/?
2/3
3/3
And the Trump-patented defense strategy of delay, delay, delay comes into effect.
And/or:
"On what authority was he wrongfully seized?"
"On the authority of the POTUS and the SOS."
Doj doesn't care. They fully intend to ignore your ruling
I’m not hiring a lawyer to do dirty deeds, I’m hiring him to state the facts of the case. That’s what he did here.
meanwhile an innocent person is rotting in torture hell jail.
tell yourself whatever deranged lies you want.
What do you think should have happened?
Of course, they don't follow normal rules, so it's FUBAR.
Probably a relief for the lawyer, in a way--though I do wonder if this is entirely about what he's already said or about him not wanting to sign on to what they filed this morning.
Imagine if Obama had done this...
#Impeach
And why yes, that IS what it was called.
This was a way things still seemed normal to the average German citizen.
“The Justice Department's mission is to uphold the rule of law, keep our country safe, and protect civil rights. “
The corruption of Trump Mafia Inc. is staggering. I hope a contempt charge is incoming.
ten bucks though says he now wishes he protested more and feared for his job less when he had the chance

There is nothing MAGA hates more than the truth.
Maybe our standard for the US DOJ should be zealous of the protection of the constitution and of the rule of law.
Do I have that concept right?
perhaps that's to entice him to keep his mouth shut going forward?
sheez, how do these criminals keep their lies and fraud straight in their heads? when everything in there is so damn crooked?
And you wonder why any Canadian or European would voluntarily enter the United States of Amerikkka!
Canada 🇨🇦
Is this the judge that ordered him returned?
