President Donald Trump claims his lawyers have told him that the Supreme Court’s ruling on Kilmar Abrego Garcia does not mean he needs to bring back the man accidentally deported to an El Salvador megaprison. In an interview with TIME, the president was asked about the Supreme Court’s 9-0 order telling the administration to effectuate Garcia’s return.

The administration has maintained that Garcia is an MS-13 gang member despite no prior convictions and their admission that he was sent to El Salvador by mistake. Asked if he’s “disobeying” the Supreme Court, Trump said, “That’s not what my people told me — they didn’t say it was, they said it was — the nine to nothing was entirely different.”

The ruling orders the government to “facilitate and effectuate the return of [Abrego Garcia] to the United States by no later than 11:59 PM on Monday, April 7.”

“I leave that to my lawyers,” Trump said when asked if he is actively facilitating Garcia’s return. “I give them no instructions. They feel that the order said something very much different from what you’re saying. But I leave that to my lawyers. If they want — and that would be Attorney General of the United States and the people that represent the country. I don’t make that decision.”

1. The wanna-be boy king has a history of trying to create his own reality.

n/t

2. Hate to say it, but it stated no dissents, BUT i'm 100% sure TWO of them for sure

[MLWR]

9. You are talking about 2 different cases and rulings

In the first case before them, "The Supreme Court has unanimously ordered the Trump administration to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody so that he can have a hearing." --The Hill

In the second case before them, Thomas and Alito dissented.

[bluestarone]

11. Well, i'm thinking these same two Dissented in the first one as well. Just didn't say they did.

That's my opinion only though. (if the real truth was known)

[onenote]

22. There is no such thing as a dissent that isn't a dissent.

If they didn't state on the record that they dissent, then the default is that they didn't dissent.

[bluestarone]

24. Ok, won't argue that, OFFICIALLY that's true. BUT

In my eyes NO WAY these TWO in their minds didn't DISSENT.

[unblock]

3. Typical. Bully everyone into accepting the fantasy you want rather than the reality we live in

Seems like a definition of tyranny, if not also a few other mental illnesses....

[Irish_Dem]

4. Voters can vote for criminals to commit crimes in office.

And the courts are supposed to look the other way.

[Martin68]

5. Excellent example of a major weakness in the administration: the president's advisor's are lying to him.

[EYESORE 9001]

10. Time for some advisors to cool their heels in some lockup for contempt

See what they tell the apricot hellbeast then

[Doodley]

6. He's lying. It's just one of Trump's techniques to avoid having to jusrify his actions when confronted.

I've got people working on that. The lawyers are dealing with that. Nobody told me that. I've got two guys working on that. We are working on that right now. We will have something tremendous in two months. It's a scratched record of BS.

[Amaryllis]

16. He is not lying. STephen Milller told him. See reply # 13.

[republianmushroom]

7. One wants to remember the convicted felon lies, a lot.

[pandr32]

8. He only hears what he wants to hear.

[Initech]

12. Someone is feeding him this garbage. Time to find out who.

Stephen Miller and Alex Jones are very likely suspects.

[Amaryllis]

13. It was Stephen MIller. He said it several times when Bukele was with them in the Oval.He told Trump that SCOTUS ruled in

their favor. and he said it more than once.

If you find a recording of the meeting you will hear it.

15. That asshole needs to be arrested now.

[chowder66]

14. If true... he should fire his lawyers.

But he personally doesn't fire anyone so there's that.

[FakeNoose]

17. Chump has one philosophy ... that he can lie with impunity

He lies and he keeps on lying, and he never stops. He believes that if enough people hear his lies, and if they hear it often enough, they'll start believing him.

Then "poof" ... it's no longer a lie .. it's the "new truth."

[onenote]

18. I'm sorry, but the Mediaite story is misleading

In suggests that the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling ordered the government to "facilitate and effectuate the return of [Abrego Garcia] to the United States by no later than 11:59 PM on Monday, April 7.” But that's what the district court originally ordered. That deadline initially was stayed by the Supreme Court, which then ruled 9-0 that the district court should clarify its order, stating as follows:

... the deadline in the challenged order is no longer effective. The rest of the District Court’s order remains in effect but requires clarification on remand. The order properly requires the Government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term “effectuate” in the District Court’s order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court’s authority. The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the Government should be prepared to share what it can con- cerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps."

I have no doubt that Trump has been misinformed about what the Court ruled, or is incapable of understanding it. But that doesn't excuse Mediaite misrepresenting the Court's decision.

19. Wow. Bondi, meet bus. I'm not responsible.

I'm powerless so I can't be in trouble. This from the guy that told his lawyers what to say and write during the trial that made him a FELON. BTW, again, "I leave that to my lawyers"? Does he mean the United States Of America's Justice Dept.? Or, the Lawyers that lost the State of New York's criminal case against him that resulted in him being found guilty of felony charges and becoming a FELON.

20. It's great the Donny fingers his lawyers as the ones in contempt.

The proper judicial ruling, IMO, would be to call the lawyers before the bench and strip them of their license to practice. Donny's word can be taken as fact in this regard. Let the attorneys find jobs at Wal-Mart.

[twodogsbarking]

21. They are keeping things from you Donny.

That's not, well, loyal.

[Karasu]

23. As if anyone in this administration has demonstrated anything other than abject incompetence.

Only the best people, don't you know.

They can't even do fascism properly.

[twodogsbarking]

25. "My people". They have submitted. Like some creepy movie.

[Hieronymus Phact]

26. This just tells you that this tidbit was blacked out on fox news

Reportedly, that's all he watches.
