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

The ball is in the Trump regime's court now. I don't really know what happens next, but it's not going away.
The DOJ will still, this forever, and we don’t even know if the taken are alive and in good condition/one piece.
Ensign wants a declaration due by Monday close of business, not daily.
Judge: My order is daily updates
Hope she sets a hard date & tells Ensign to stuff it - of course deadlines are appropriate in court cases, ffs
"What happened that required him to kill?"
"He hasn't told me. Can't we just do this later? "
"Oh well, it's only trash..."🤬
And we'll go ahead and set a follow up hearing for the day after government files the declaration I previously requested
Trump wins; he can and will ignore all courts.
And that's it. Hearing over. Judge will enter written order in due course.
Judge clearly stated that they had time before appeals.
So do something, not put off and off.

Long story short, the Judge seems fine. No concern there. The DOJ on the other hand . . . ?????
I knew it.
America has once again failed.
Even with a judge willing to hold their feet to the fire, they’ve still managed to pull off ANOTHER DELAY!!!

Why is the judge not holding this guy in contempt?

super valuable information you are providing.
The quote is as follows: "It's quite clear...the defendants are playing a game with their own lawyers"

You earned a spot in my Starter Pack, right between President Obama and Senator Cory Booker.

I propose that the judge incarcerate the gov lawyer of the day if they don't bring answers.
Oh, for an "Edit" function!!
But they certainly see their moves as "owns" of the judicial system...
This "I'm just the coffee guy and don't know anything" act is ridiculous.
If need be, she should order Attorney General Bondi to appear and answer the questions under threat of a Contempt Order.
My wish is that this DOJ craziness & the daily updates are SPLASHED across all media.
This case needs to be blasted on the major networks' evening news to inform the 85% of Americans who are not fully engaged.
Or is that just how people are operating now, taking the lead from the Executive?
People just following along is far more dangerous than being told to be like this
They've shown no regret for their "mistake."
Is it possible to jail a DOJ lawyer for contempt? Ensign's being contemptible AF.
You did an amazing job of providing us with instant updates.
So we paid $23,000 for the unlawful treatment of this man…& there's nothing to be done?
This is Trump's BS legal delay tactics (ie impunity) working like it did in his first term + how he skipped his own criminal trials
Even from here we follow this horror-show
Thank you for your diligence.
Seriously, don't worry about typos. Our system of laws is being destroyed in front of our eyes. Pluralizing a word ain't nuthin'.
Love this judge!
They can increase their density in your arms and get heavier and more unbalanced until you drop them.
Ensign's trying to drive a wedge btw the Supreme Court and Judge Paula Xinis
Xinis is onto the game Ensign is playing
Judge Xinis seems reluctant to jail a DOJ lawyer for contempt
Supreme Ct doesn't wanna be owned except when it does
It seems clear the government is defying the Court’s order, and sending Ensign out as a sacrificial lamb. Contempt does not originate with him, but….contempt is palpable, almost sneering.
That being said, it is quite clear that Judge Xinis is powerless to do anything about this situation.
Or is that tomorrow at 5pm?
Enough with the BS…..
It’s been 1 month that he has been ILLEGALLY detained in a foreign concentration camp.
A. Abrego Garcia has died in El Salvadorian custody, or
B. Abrego Garcia was tortured while in El Salvadorian custody.
Either way, both outcomes have the potential to give a whole lot of judges pause, even Thomas, apparently.
I note up thread this https://bsky.app/profile/annabower.bsky.social/post/3lmkiskbogk2j
Was there any further hint that the Named Defendants- Neom, Rubio, Bondi, might at some point be required to personally appear, or that the Defendant’s be required to identify an official with personal knowledge to appear?
1. Apply a firm DAILY update deadline (as the judge noted, she is not bound to any particular schedule);
2. If DOJ attorneys can't/won't/don't adhere to her timelines, they will be held in contempt involving progressively more severe sanctions;
3. Do not extend beyond Monday, 4/14.

That statement alone was enough truth to get him fired.
I think no news will be forthcoming until after Bukele’s meeting with Trump on Monday in White House is over.
They tell you exactly what they are doing
By saying they are going to follow the SCOTUS order, they are also saying, this lower court has no power
WHY does our system of justice allow powerful, rich parties to delay, delay, delay?
Why? He doesn’t WANT TO!
Despicable POS! 😡😡😡
“How long has the government (DHS, State, POTUS) known Mr. Abrego García was dead?”
One minor variation on the theme: Prisoner is in a coma in a Salvadoran jail/hospital - and is not expected to ever regain consciousness.
I might have gone further, myself: "This is an order of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is not my order. I am charged with giving that order immediate and full effect. Clear?"
"Good faith looks like the pattern of action that would occur if the government WANTED Mr. Garcia to come home."

"Hell is paved with good intentions"?
This utter contempt shown by this defense attorney, Ensign, and his client, the Administration -- it is infuriating, appalling. Criminal.
Especially since the justification for black-bagging them in the first place was a big stupid lie.
For God’s sake, Just do the right thing and bring him home.
It’s clear nothing will happen without immediate and painful consequences.
My takeaway is that this admin is now disobeying SCOTUS orders while lying that they are obeying them.
thank you SO much for the play by play. Riveting.
Lawyers
Guns
Money
If a Dem Admin had illegally or erroneously sent a maga insurrectionist to the gulag, this GOP SCOTUS would have jailed the Dems responsible DAY 1.
Judge: We need answers to these questions
Gov: Fuck you
Judge: OK, let's come back tomorrow
“Come back tomorrow, we’ll do it again!!!”
These people are barbarians and they only understand force. The dems and the courts are fucking Jo because they won’t admit they’re not talking to healthy or normal people their talking to ideologues
Why can’t the judge just say — return him by 5pm tomorrow to my courtroom. You have 24+ hours to figure out how to effectuate and facilitate his return.
Seems very testy.
Can it get hotter? If so, what happens?
They’ll return to a stern admonition and repeat cycle

Those were three simple questions that should have had an answer. Period.
There's more than enuf for a contempt charge.
A man's life is at stake!
All the women returned to 🇺🇸, as the govt insisted the planes couldn't turn around and no one could be brought back after the planes landed in 🇸🇻.
Cause, I dunno maybe it’s just me, but it feels like someone on that side is gonna need to be locked up for there to be any movement on this. 🤷🏽♀️

"I alone can fix it."
WTAF!
Trump sold him to the El Salvador cartel he was fleeing from.
5pm sunday- no updates
5pm Monday - no updates
5pm Tues (the date the govt asked for today, which was denied) - we can't tell you the information because of national security. At some point the govt may decide it's simpler to just kill the guy and be done with it. Case moot
Either is contemptible
But effective? Hmmm.
What is this nonsense?
Shameless people cannot be shamed, even if it's a scheduled "shaming" once a day.
They'll start GLEEFULLY putting out "status reports" saying they won't say where he is.

if they gave them a month they'd say it wasn't practical
