#Boasberg and his clerks are on fire! His finding of probable cause for #contempt is filled with prebuttals and “pre-bunking” #DOJ’s likely arguments. A bit tough to read because it’s thick with citations, but the cites (especially to Supreme Court opinions) are what make it so strong.

@mspopok.bsky.social breaks down what happens next. If Trump officials refuse to return the detainees, the judge could bypass the
#DOJ and even
#PamBondi by appointing a special prosecutor himself. Popok explains why this could trigger a MAJOR legal showdown!

Bluesky SocialNew from Judge #Xinis’ docket:
The #Trump #DOJ court ordered daily update on #KilmarAbregoGarcia says that it has “no further updates” on their efforts to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..
Bluesky SocialSenator #VanHollen — also refreshingly given the lies & obfuscation from the #Trump admin & #DOJ — tells EXACTLY what he did today in #ElSalvador to try to see or speak with #KilmarAbregoGarcia, exactly what the VP of El Salvador said in response to his queries & exactly what steps he will take now.
Ahhh (sigh of relief) #Democrats are so nice that way.

…Since 2017 & 2018, the #DOJ [under #Trump 1.0] has required #RT & #Sputnik to register as #ForeignAgents, reflecting #Russian government control over their operations. 5 months after #EdMartin’s final appearance last April, the #UnitedStates, #Canada & #Britain announced new sanctions on RT & several employees meant to cripple funding for… #disinformation operations around the world.
