I am utterly baffled by the highlighted part, which isn't even a quote from the Supreme Court's order. What are they doing?!

Defendants’ Response to Interrogatory No. 1: Defendants object to
Interrogatory No. 1 as based on the false premise that the United States can or has
been ordered to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador. See
Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S.—, slip op. at 2 (holding Defendants should “take all available
steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United State”) (emphasis added).
Defendants further object to Interrogatory No. 1 as calling for information that is
protected by the attorney-client privilege, the deliberative process privilege, the state
secrets privilege, and the governmental privilege. Defendants incorporate their
objections to definitions and objections to instructions.

This is quite incredible. The US Justice Dept, under Trump, is defending its birthright citizenship Order by arguing that immigrant children covered by the Order cannot be citizens because... the children of Native Americans aren't US citizens.

A special privilege&joy to second chair @NAGZelinsky’s 1st Supreme Court argument, and to do it alongside the great ZoeJacoby, my former @HoganLovells researcher (also her first SCOTUS argument). We represented the family of a driver who was shot and killed by a police officer.
