There is not one valid reason to do this.
“Because our orange God-Emperor said so” not valid enough reason for ya? Too bad, it is for them, and I wish I was joking…

DOJ [probably] presented some bogus logistical reason they can’t comply in time, asked for an extension.

Judiciary either has to call their bluff and potentially trigger a stand-off that could overturn Marbury v Madison, or just grant the extra day or two and keep waiting for the appropriate hill to die on.

No good option, really, so I understand taking the more patient route. Buuuuut at some point, the patient route undoes the judiciary’s power too.

Nope, their argument has been that they can’t comply ever because once El Salvadoran prison guards have custody over the deported individual they don’t have any authority to tell those guards to give them back. They’re not asking for an extra day or two, they’re asking for us just to forget about this.

A Justice Department lawyer conceded in a court hearing that Abrego Garcia should not have been deported. Attorney General Pam Bondi later removed the lawyer, Erez Reuveni, from the case and placed him on leave.

AG needs to go back to that El Salvadorian jail and be incarcerated there, for the remainder of her life. Fuck this fascist fucking administration.

Can we send that stupid bitch Noem that keeps cosplaying in various outfits there, too?

Not that pausing this is anything less than insane, but note that SCOTUS has recently given administrative stays and then ruled against Trump after that. Nothing is a given either way

The fight isn’t over until it’s over. Don’t read this news and give in the doom and cynicism Trump wants us all to have. We can still fight back, and people are still fighting. 5 million were on the street on Saturday. There’s another nationwide 50501 protest on April 19th

I mean, I think a lot of those rulings against Trump have been after they would make any difference and are just being done to keep up the appearance that they’ll be some kind of check on him (which after the immunity ruling seems like a pretty insane thing to believe, but people really want it to be true so they’ll grasp at whatever this court gives them), and either way this court has been an unacceptable problem demanding reform since Citizens United, let alone Dobbs.

The fight isn’t over until it’s over.

This I 100% agree with. My point in bringing up how corrupt the court is is not to make people feel hopeless but rather to make them realize that things are not normal and we cannot just sit back and wait for an authority figure to come and save us. We have to fight back, but we can do that and we are. Like you said, 5 million were on the street on Saturday, and there’s another nationwide 50501 protest on April 19th, and I’m hoping it will be even bigger.

Paused to wait for what? What is going to change as time passes?
He will be tortured and killed which was the whole point why he wasn’t supposed to go back to El Salvador.

This is a disgrace. From an npr article I read about this the “evidence” of him being a gang member completely boiled down to because “we say he is.” They claim their “proof” can’t be elaborated on at all because it’s sensitive national security information when this clown show administration has literally been discussing confidential military strategies in fuckin Signal.

They shit out the flimsiest of pretenses and their brainwashed base eats it up like it’s goddamn caviar. Nope, it’s literal shit.

I heard the NPR interview. Where the government said multiple judges said he was a member. If multiple judges ruled that then where’s the ruling? I was waiting for the interviewer to ask that question but it never came out. I could hear the frustration in her voice but still it seemed one sided.
Y’all don’t get it. The courts have a purpose as long as they’re seen as legitimate. If they issue an order and the state ignores it and the police don’t enforce it, they will appear as impotent and lose all legitimacy. They prefer to pretend and maintain what little power they have.
The illegitimate administration continues to be a total skidmark on this nation.
Interesting… That’s exactly Trump’s discourse from 2020 when he refused to admit defeat to Biden. Back then this attitude was parroted as “a threat to democracy”. Now, in 2025, it’s fair game saying his government is illegitimate?
14th amendment. Illegitimate.
