The first question we need to ask is why Trump wants to keep Abrego García in El Salvador. A normal administration would want to retrieve someone wrongly sent to a foreign gulag. I believe part of the reason I that Trump wants a fight with the courts in which he can defy their orders.

The reason the IRS has no data-leaking API is not because they don't know how to schedule a "hackathon." Instead it's because the API:
1. Likely violates the Privacy Act of 1974
2. Is not within the IRS's mandate
3. Would be a huge target for attacks against the privacy of all Americans
