It’s hard to imagine Abrego Garcia’s lawyers agreeing to this unless the government was making meaningful concessions.
JUST IN: Judge Xinis has postponed discovery in the Abrego Garcia case for a week, with the agreement of both sides. The reason is unclear but it follows a sealed filing from the government this AM.

This, in a nutshell, is why the Justice Department remains independent from the White House when it comes to directing criminal prosecution. A country that fails to take to heart the lessons of Watergate ends up with Trump.
If this were a report about any other country in the world, the headline would be something more like "Trump Expands Efforts to Crackdown on Political Opposition."
Trump Directs Justice Dept. to Investigate ActBlue, Democrats’ Cash Engine
The president ordered an inquiry into ActBlue, the main Democratic fund-raising platform, in his latest move using the government to target political opponents.

The size of the tariffs, however, wasn’t the only shocking thing about the Rose Garden announcement. Arguably what we learned about how the Trump team arrived at those tariff rates — the sheer malignant stupidity of the whole thing — was even worse.
