The Sophistry Of Tangerine’s Federales Team… Is Jaw Slacking — And USDC Judge Xinis Is Making That Abundantly Clear Tonight.

The credibility of most US Attorneys who’ve appeared on matters directly related to Trump’s endlessly preposterously lawless edicts. . . have now destroyed their own credibility.

Over and over. It truly is, in the modern history of presidential administrations. . . unprecedented. Here’s the latest scorcher, from Judge Xinis — she’s spot on:

…Much of the November 20, 2025, hearing was devoted to the non-existence of a final order of removal for Abrego Garcia. See ECF No. 107. The absence of that order meant that Respondents — for six years — never had authority to remove Abrego Garcia to any third country.

On this point, Respondents agreed. If “there is no final order of removal,” conceded Respondents’ counsel, Drew Ensign, “then the government would take the position it could not remove him.” ECF No. 107 at 156:22–24. While Respondents now insinuate this Court has sat on its hands regarding the dissolution motion, the reality is that Respondents had no lawful authority to remove Abrego Garcia unless and until a final order of removal issued. See ECF No. 110 at 19–25. The injunction, in this respect remained an entirely appropriate prophylaxis because Respondents already had demonstrated [by kidnapping him to El Salvador] the capacity to remove Abrego Garcia without lawful authority, see Abrego I, and the injunction visited no prejudice on Respondents….

Respondents’ complaints about the “delay” in adjudicating the motion to dissolve are further undermined by the pending federal indictment in Tennessee. After all, Abrego Garcia must be physically present for that trial to proceed….

And, as to Iran — TACO, it is (again) — he always chickens out. And we are lucky, for that. Damn.
