Here we go. The showdown we all knew was coming.
P…S. they can’t allow him to return and report on what goes on there. I’m willing to bet he is dead or will soon be killed.
Showdown maybe. They don’t have a deadline or consequences for failing to act or requirement that they actually take steps which result in his being returned to the US.
The constitutional crisis has been underway since inaguration day, but the wheels of justice grind slowly so there is some delay between getting knocked off track and the inevitable trainwreck.
Looking at the Google Earth pictures, it looks like this isn’t a prison but a death camp.
Maybe that’s why they are fighting so hard to bring him back, because everyone would learn what they did.
Edit: if your didn’t see the posts, search CECOT on Google maps. It also looks like there might be mass graves up north.
They sent them to jail, yet we don’t know what they exactly did (all they told us they were in a vegetable gang), we don’t know how long they supposed to be jailed and how would they finish serving their sentence. Most of those people aren’t even from El Salvador, so where would they go after.
It looks like they are never meant to leave the place and the payment was one time, so it looks like he just outsourced the killing.
CECOT Prisoners are not intended to leave, ever, according to Bukele’s justice minister. 156 violent people shoved into 100 square meter cells with no regard for gang affiliation. Steel bunks 3 levels high - no mats, no windows, just a toilet and wash basin shared among everyone in a cell. They’re fed rice without utensils, and provided zero outdoor time or visitation.
Basically a steel and concrete pit built to make people wish they got the death penalty.
I assume you mean 100 square feet cells? 100 square meter cells sounds quite luxurious - unless that’s the total area.
They showed the prison on the news but didn’t show the prisoners from America. That’s suspicious
9-0??
Somebody miss a payment to Clarence Thomas?
I’m guessing Roberts and Alito know the admin will ignore this court order and pushed Thomas to make it unanimous for the fight to keep the judiciary an actual branch of the government that is to follow
The ruling is also meaningless. They ruled the US has to “facilitate” his return, but does not have to “effectuate” his return. The admin will interpret this to mean that as long as El Salvador doesn’t take active steps to send him back, the US doesn’t have to do anything to try to make them.
I believe the original Federal judge has clarified the order?
Here’s a link to the ruling issued just a couple hours ago & is requiring a response by early tomorrow morning:
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777799/abrego-garcia-v-noem/
EDIT: Here’s the direct text:
The Supreme Court’s April 10, 2025 decision in Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S.—–, No. 24A949, affirmed this Court’s Order at ECF No. 21 (the “Order”), and directed that on remand, this Court clarify its use of the term “effectuate,” according proper deference to the Executive Branch in its conduct of foreign affairs. See Slip Op. at 2. To this end, the Court hereby amends the Order to DIRECT that Defendants take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States as soon as possible. Further, as the Supreme Court made clear, “the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps.” See Slip Op. at 2.
Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS Defendants to file, by no later than 9:30 AM ET on Friday, April 11, 2025, a supplemental declaration from an individual with personal knowledge, addressing the following: (1) the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s immediate return to the United States; and (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return. To the extent Defendants believe any portion of their submission must be filed under 1 Case 8:25-cv-00951-PX Document 51 Filed 04/10/25 Page 2 of 2 seal, they shall comply with the Court’s Local Rules governing the sealing of materials. See D. Md. Loc. R. 105.11.
Finally, the Court will hold an in-person status conference on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, at the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, 6500 Cherrywood Lane, Greenbelt, Maryland 20770.
Importantly, they replaced the lower Court’s order to “effectuate” his return with “facilitate” and defined “facilitate” as to remove any barriers to his return on the US side.
So the ruling is actually “Don’t prevent the government from which he was fleeing and that is now holding him prisoner in a labor camp from flying him back to the US for asylum.”
The task is impossible as he’s already dead.
There will be more excuses and more delays until they do something more stupid to get your attention off that.
Curtis Yarvin, the Neil Breen of political “philosophers,” wrote that ignoring the courts is part of the plan- here’s his test case.
Oh no you’re reading this wrong. SCOTUS just gave them permission. They said they must “facilitate” and that the lower courts order to “effectuate” was likely an over step.
The payload here is that facilitating means they’ll send an official request that El Salvador will officially deny and then tell everyone they did everything they were ordered to do.
