Donald Trump's Justice Department lawyers are reportedly facing potential contempt charges, at the same time as they are offering a "contemptuous response" to a judge. The Supreme Court recently issued a tepid ruling in a case involving a wrongly deported man, and Trump's Department of Justice has been using the language in that order to justify its failure to so far return the removed individual.

On Saturday, the attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant who lived in the U.S. legally with a work permit and was erroneously deported to El Salvador, asked the judge to level contempt charges for not being transparent in the purported attempts to retrieve him.

Legal expert Roger Parloff reported, "His attys ask her to order govt to produce the terms of any agreement to use CECOT for US deportees & to provide witnesses from DHS, DoJ, & State for Tuesday’s hearing to discuss what steps they’ve taken to secure his release."

"Minutes before" that filing, according to Parloff, Trump's DOJ filed a "contemptuous" reply. On that reply, Politico's Kyle Cheney reported, "Trump administration attests that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive and secure but is under the 'sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.'"

2. This was a setup

It looks like Garcia was targeted by El Salvador.
Maybe part of the deal.

3. TSF's lawyers are pushing buttons.

BASTARDS!!

5. In other words.....

You just have to take our word for it, judge.

I have to wonder if some of the tasks trump will set his new extorted lawyers to perform are cases where they will be ordered to look ridiculous and lie to judges.

6. Yippers, OUR government aided and abetted in Human Trafficking...

selling this man to El Salvador for no good reason. I want to see the words "human trafficking" applied to his, and the others', cases on a constant basis. There is no other way to look at it. They were "sold" to another country. When it begins to happen to children on a regular basis, do you think the "think of the poor children and what they're going thru" gospel right will finally speak out? I doubt it... as long as those children are anything other than blonde and blue eyed.
