NEW: The Dec. 3 order in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case was unsealed today.
In it, the judge ordered DOJ to turn over certain communications to Abrego Garcia's lawyers as potential evidence in his vindictive prosecution arguments.
(Aakash Singh works in Deputy AG Todd Blanche's office.)
In it, the judge ordered DOJ to turn over certain communications to Abrego Garcia's lawyers as potential evidence in his vindictive prosecution arguments.
(Aakash Singh works in Deputy AG Todd Blanche's office.)
![The central question after Abrego established a prima facie case of vindictiveness is what
information in the government's control sheds light on its new decision to prosecute Abrego, after
removing him from the United States without criminal charges. These documents show that
McGuire did not act alone and to the extent McGuire had input on the decision to prosecute, he
shared it with Singh and others. (Doc. No. 178-1). Specifically, the government's documents may
contradict its prior representations that the decision to prosecute was made locally and that there
were no outside influences. For example, Singh contacted McGuire on April 27, 2025, to discuss Abrego's case.
(See Doc. No. 229 at Abrego-Garcia000001). On April 30, 2025, Singh asked
McGuire what the potential charges against Abrego would be, whether the charging document would reference Abrego's alleged MS-13 affiliation, and asked for a phone call before any charges
were filed. (Id. at Abrego-Garcia000007-000008). In a separate email on April 30, 2025, Singh made clear that Abrego's criminal prosecution was a "top priority" for the Deputy Attorney
General's office (Blanche). (Id. at Abrego-Garcia000037). He then told McGuire to "sketch out a draft complaint for the 1324 charge [making it unlawful to bring in and harbor certain aliens]." (Id.). On May 15th, McGuire emailed his staff that "DAG (Blanche) and PDAG would like Garcia charged sooner rather than later." (Id. at Abrego-Garcia000060). Then, on May 16, 2025, counsel of record Jacob Warren emailed Singh and reported, "if the DAG (Blanche) does want to move
forward with the indictment on Wednesday, we think it would be prudent to loop in the press office
ASAP." (Id. at Abrego-Garcia000018-000019). Finally, on May 18, 2025, Singh emailed](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreieqyrdzvxx4wbl6fbt3vfn3bfjb2wzzmiodo7nzwqojynd3jmjtdq@jpeg)
![McGuire and others, and instructed them to "close[ly] hold" the draft indictment until the group
"glolt clearance," to file. (Id, at Abrego-Garcia000018). The implication is that "clearance" would come from the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, not just McGuire. (Id.). These documents
must be disclosed given Abrego's reliance on Blanche's public statements and to allow the parties
to present their arguments on how these documents may or may not support the motion to dismiss.
The Court recognizes the government's assertion of privileges, but Abrego's due process right to a non-vindictive prosecution outweighs the blanket evidentiary privileges asserted by the government. (Doc. No. 185 at 6) (citing United States v. Zakhari, 85 F. 4th 367, 379 (6th Cir. 2023) and United States v. LaDeau, 734 F.3d 561, 566 (6th Cir. 2013)). If the work product, attorney-client, and deliberative process privileges asserted by the government precluded all discovery in the context of a vindictiveness motion, defendants would never be able to answer the question
"what motivated the government's prosecution?" That would be contrary to the Sixth Circuit's approach and result in both Adams, 870 F.2d at 1146 and in Zakhari, 85 F.4th at 381, remanding the case to the district court for an evidentiary hearing (and any related discovery) after finding there was a reasonable likelihood of vindictiveness.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreieunjk3tiv7mqk7enmqyka6dmxwi52lvjtoe56inzkrm4qvzxdtzu@jpeg)
