Judge Howell: "The U.S. Constitution affords critical protections against Executive action like that ordered in EO 14230. Government officials, including the President, may not 'subject individuals to "retaliatory actions" after the fact for having engaged in protected speech.'"

So Navarro here is expressly admitting that it was Trump’s tariffs that caused the economy to contract in the first quarter of 2025.
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Apr 30
Peter Navarro on CNBC reacts to the shrinking GDP number by insisting it's actually good news because if you strip out the effect of tariffs "you have 3 percent growth. So we really like where we're at now."

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

UPDATE: DOJ balks at court order in Abrego Garcia case, court finds gov't "failed to comply."

DOJ said it was "unable" to provide information about Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Judge Paula Xinis. She has ordered daily status reports and a hearing on Tuesday.

Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-admi...
[UPDATE, 4:45 p.m.: Judge Paula Xinis issued an order shortly after the hearing, finding that “the Defendants have failed to comply with this Court’s Order“ from Thursday night. As to the basic questions about Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts and the Trump administration’s previous efforts under her order to facilitate his return, Xinis noted, “Defendants’ counsel responded that he could not answer these questions, and at times suggested that Defendants had withheld such information from him.” As discussed at the hearing, Xinis accordingly has ordered that “beginning April 12, 2025, and continuing each day thereafter until further order of the Court, Defendants shall file daily, on or before 5:00 PM ET, a declaration made by an individual with personal knowledge as to any information regarding: (1) the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate his immediate return to the United States; (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return.” The next hearing in the case is set for 4 p.m. Tuesday. Abrego Garcia’s lawyers are invited to request any additional relief in a filing due by 5 p.m. Saturday, and the government’s response is due by 5 p.m. Sunday.]

In case you missed it, Trump signed an EO declaring 2 people from his old administration as national security threats and directed "his DOJ" to open criminal investigations on these people.. All they did was contradict him.. He must be making Putin proud!

Judge Xinis trying to get the DOJ lawyer to tell her where Abrego Garcia is is important information.

More fundamentally, though, I wish she'd ask if he's still alive.

When DOJ filed its response to Judge Xinis around 12:15 pm today, it said: “Plaintiff is in the custody of a foreign sovereign.”

Drew Ensign’s name was on the brief.

An hour later, at the hearing, Ensign told the judge that he didn’t have info on Garcia’s whereabouts and custodial status.

???
RESPONSE TO AMENDED PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Defendants are unable to provide the information requested by the Court on the impracticable deadline set by the Court hours after the Supreme Court issued its order. The Supreme Court's order directs the Court to "clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs." Abrego Garcia v. Noem, 25A949, 604 U. S. _ (2025), Op. at 2. The Court has not yet clarified what it means to "facilitate" or "effectuate" the return as it relates to this case, asPlaintiff is in the custody of a foreign sovereign Defendants request - and require-the opportunity to brief that issue prior to being subject to any compliance deadlines. Needless to say, Defendants were under no obligation to take action under the court's order while it was administratively stayed by the Chief Justice of the United States. In light of the insufficient amount of time afforded to review the Supreme Court's Order following the dissolution of the administrative stay in this case, Defendants are not in a position where they "can" share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality. Defendants received the order late in the evening last night. They are reviewing the order and actively evaluating next steps. It is unreasonable and impracticable for Defendants to reveal potential steps before those steps are reviewed, agreed upon, and vetted. Foreign affairs cannot operate on judicial timelines, in part because it involves sensitive country-specific considerations wholly inappropriate for judicial review. Respectfully Submitted, Yaakov M.

Judge has ordered daily updates...

Of what, I'm not sure. DOJ will just show up with same story.

Judge needs to hold people in contempt. And the family needs to sue. This man deserves the government to present the evidence against him. The family should depose Pam Bondi.

I know everyone is freaked out that Elon Musk donated $274 Million to Trump but that is just a distraction. The purchase of Twitter for $44 BILLION was a campaign contribution. He systematically suppressed left accounts while magnifying right accounts manipulating the platform.
