USDC Judge Xinis Orders The Depositions Of Senior ICE/DHS Political Appointees…

The full eight page order is here now, on the public docket.

And as we indicated in the last live blog post, Noem has really stepped in it. To the extent any of the below officials are foot-dragging, Judge Xinis has already granted Mr. Abrego Garcia’s counsel up to two more depositions — which could very easily be Rubio and Noem and/or Stephen Miller. Hilarious. Check this out.

…Plaintiffs may also, by no later than Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at 5:00 PM, notice the depositions of the following affiants: Robert L. Cerna (ECF No. 11-3), Evan C. Katz (ECF No. 64), Michael G. Kozak (ECF No. 63), and Joseph N. Mazzara (ECF Nos. 74 & 77). Any such depositions must be completed by Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at 5:00 PM….

Kristi Noem is finding out that she’s decidedly in “the bigs” now — this isn’t some dusty, jerkwater local Dakota courtroom (staffed with her cronies). And contempt and/or perjury… lie dead ahead, if she keeps playing cute. Onward.
