But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![A. Facilitation of Abrego Garcia's Return
The Court should order the Government to take the following specific steps—in addition to whatever other steps are within its power—to '"facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody
in El Salvador," Noem, 604 U.S. _
→ 2025 WL 1077101, at *1, and return to the United States:
Request that its agents and contractors release Abrego Garcia from custody in El
Salvador pursuant to the contract or arrangement providing for his detention there
at the Government's direction. See ECF No. 31 at 11-12 ("the record reflects that Defendants have 'outsource[d] part of the [United States'] prison system" and "just as in any other contract facility, Defendants can and do maintain the power to secure and transport their detainees, Abrego Garcia included").
Dispatch personnel to accompany Abrego Garcia upon his release from CECOT to
ensure his safe passage to the aircraft that will return him to the United States.
Provide air transportation for Abrego Garcia to return to Maryland, because he may not be in current possession of sufficient identification to board a commercial flight.
Grant Abrego Garcia parole pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 212(d)(5), 8 USC § 1182(d)(5), and prepare all paperwork and forms required to allow him to reenter the United States.
B.
Expedited Discovery
Plaintiffs request that the Court order the following expedited discovery:
The Government should be ordered to immediately produce contemporaneously
prepared documents, in such form as they existed at the time of Abrego Garcia's removal, sufficient to reflect the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the Government's use of CECOT to house U.S. deportees.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreigurxct4ymfhlb6ahhoqjmmhac2bojn5dmuttqzsastc6bua6ihku@jpeg)

You can probably trace this back to the Nixon pardon, the post-2008 "Too big to jail" decline in white collar prosecutions, and of course more recently the half hearted Trump prosecution. These are fundamentally political, not legal problems
One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

OF THE STATE SECRETS PRIVILEGE
INTRODUCTION
On March 25, the Court directed Plaintiffs to file their response, if any, to Defendants'
Notice Invoking the State Secrets Privilege (ECF No. 56).
Two threshold matters bear emphasis. First, Plaintiffs respectfully submit that the Court
already possesses the information it needs to conclude that its March 15 oral and written
temporary restraining orders were violated. The government has confirmed that "two flights carrying aliens being removed under the AEA departed U.S. airspace before the Court's minute order of 7:25 PM EDT, and before the Court's oral statements during the hearing." Decl. of Robert L. Cerna, Acting Field Office Director, ICE (ECF No. 49-1). The government has also confirmed that it is "not contest[ing] for the purposes of these proceedings that the planes landed
abroad, and that the aliens on board were deplaned, after the issuance of the Court's minute order." Defs. Notice Invoking State Secrets Privilege 7-8 (ECF No. 56) ("Defs. Notice"). These facts, standing alone, establish that the government failed to comply with both of the Court's (excerpt ends here)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreidlciwjzmtbb32wujmohhzouhugxpop6p7ek7fteffi6jb3u6nyby@jpeg)
