Where is Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia? What has the govt done to facilitate his return? And if nothing, why is the Supreme Court allowing their ruling to be ignored?

Nice. Sen #SheldonWhitehouse just mentioned that #KilmarAbregoGarcia has an excellent #BivensAction complaint against #Trump et al.
#DeepCut but exactly on the nose.
A Bivens action generally refers to a lawsuit for #damages when a federal officer who is acting in the color of federal authority allegedly violates the US #Constitution by federal officers acting.

Judge #Xinis is NOT happy. #Trump #DOJ privilege log that was due today was not filed. She gave them 30 minutes to file with the note: "Failure to file the privilege log or otherwise respond will be construed as an intentional refusal to comply with this Court's orders."
#KilmarAbregoGarcia's lawyers filed their log under seal.

#Trump says he could bring back #KilmarAbregoGarcia, an #immigrant his admin wrongly deported to the infamous #CECOT prison in #ElSalvador. But he won’t, despite #SCOTUS’ order to “facilitate” the return of Abrego Garcia, who was deported unlawfully in the first place.

#KilmarAbregoGarcia's latest legal brief roasts #Trump's "shocking proposition" that officers can "snatch residents of this country & deposit them in foreign prisons in admitted violation of federal law" — & no US court can do anything about it.

Sick
#DOJ has confirmed that once #KilmarAbregoGarcia is released, #ICE fully intends to begin removal proceedings to send him to a "third country," not #ElSalvador — the definition of #rendition.
There's no timeline for the process & the DOJ *lawyer* [those left are willing to go along w/ #EmilBove] claims it's not "imminent."

#DOJ says it intends to try #KilmarAbregoGarcia on *smuggling*
#Trump’s *Justice* Dept said Thurs that it intends to try Garcia on federal smuggling charges in Tennessee before it moves to deport him to a country that is not his native #ElSalvador.
“This defendant has been charged with *horrific crimes*, including trafficking children, & will not walk free in our country again,” DOJ propagandist Chad Gilmartin told AP.

Because of course.
The star witness against #KilmarAbregoGarcía was due to be deported. Now he’s being freed.
Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes is a three-time #felon who has been released early from federal #prison to a halfway house in exchange for his *cooperation* in the case.
