Look — the government has the right (though meritless) to appeal the able USDC Judge Xinis’ orders (of April 10) to the Fourth Circuit. That it did, today. [Those will fail — bank on it.]
But it also filed a non-responsive sworn update, to her prior order — an order that is in full force and effect — requiring daily sworn updates. The update is that the government has done essentially nothing — and is doing nothing, to comply with the Supremes’ admonition that it facilitate the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. [The guy signing this insolent sworn statement is Joe Mazzara, one of the guys that counsel for Mr. Garcia will depose under oath next week, BTW. That will be a… smoker!]
Here’s that utterly insolent one-pager of nonsense — from the DHS/ICE political appointee (and the closing sentences of it, below):
. . .Given the [prior non-updates]… within the contours of existing law and regulation, there are no further updates….
She IS “the existing law” — as affirmed by the Supremes — what are they actively doing to get him home? That’s the existing law — plain as day.
The Boasberg hammer is going to soon appear in USDC Judge Xinis’ courtroom as well, I will predict. The Fourth will bounce this stupid appeal — again. As will the Supremes. Onward.
