I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Just so we’re clear on this. Abrego Garcia is the test to see how far the Administration can go and at what consequence.
The U.S is paying El Salvador $6 million to imprison 300 undesirables for a year.
Garcia is being used to see what the Administration and foreign governments can get away with.

Trump wants him to stay in the El Salvadoran hellhole prison so that he becomes an example of what can happen to any immigrant in the United States regardless of their status. He wants the immigrant population to feel such fear and terror that they leave the US on their own.
When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.
When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

Are you telling me that the President of El Salvador can fly to DC to meet with Trump, but the Trump administration can't get him to return a mistakenly deported Maryland man, Kilmar Armanda Abrego Garcia, to the US?

In short, today's two filings are a defiant "screw you" to Judge Xinis and to Mr. Abrego. They say they can't "facilitate" anything because he's in Bukele's custody, they threaten to appeal any order she makes requiring them to take further steps, and they refuse to tell her anything.
NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

Finally, and in one of the most obnoxious things I've seen in some time: DOJ — in addressing whether it should be ordered to show cause why it should not be held in contempt for failure to comply with Xinis's orders — does not address Xinis's orders at all, simply referencing the SCOTUS order.
