One thing that characterizes all dictators is a lack of fundamental humanity. Putin poison or defenestrates dissidents, throws Russians as cannon fodder in waves to die in Ukraine. Xi sends millions of Uighurs to concentration camps. Kim tortures, executes his own with glee. 1

Musk appeared to be sowing distrust without regard for the details of government policies, following a similar pattern to his incursions into the SSA. There, he identified and widely shared on social media data that appeared to suggest the agency was giving benefits to millions of dead people.

All along, the administration has had the option of moving to return Abrego Garcia to the United States and then trying again to deport him via conventional legal processes—which, ironically enough, could result in his removal anyway, in a more lawful manner. newrepublic.com/article/1939...

I had a good friend who’s fiancé got viral pneumonia. Great shape. He died at 27. I had a cousin. Not an athlete but not overweight or in bad health either. He died of COVID at 40.

So the State Department admits Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and in the infamous Salvadoran prison. President Bukele will be at the White House on Monday, but Trump says he can’t do anything to get him back — like ask Bukele directly! What complete and utter bullshit.🤬

"This bullshit answer may just be enough to satisfy the Supreme Court’s order that the government do their best, but that they can’t do anything else to force Abrego Garcia’s return because of the 'due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.'”

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

I agree that this is the logical endpoint, but it is also likely its Kryptonite because then it makes our courts impotent. Courts don’t like giving up their power (see post 9/11). So the endgame, if the courts want to stay relevant, is to say the whole thing is unconstitutional from the jump

Bring 👏 back 👏 circuit riding 👏 but at the district court level 👏 If John Roberts really is the institutionalist he’s been made out to be, he needs to see the government’s repeated shenanigans before the district court up close and personal

"Cut off nose to spite face" File: If the US is going to claim it loses control over people when it sends them to a foreign prison as an appendage of the US penal system, that Trump Admin strategy is dead because no US court is going to permit relinquishing jurisdiction in these circumstances.

This is performance. The Administration is purposely being awful to cover up their incompetence. They said they would deport 16 million illegal immigrants. At this rate it would take another 40 years. The ugliness is to hide their incompetence.

As noted by @joshgerstein.bsky.social, Trump DOJ blew past the 5 p.m. ET deadline on this by 10 minutes, landing on the docket just after Garcia's attorney sought contempt for flouting court's orders.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments
