Heidi Li Feldman<p>After two pages of blather, today’s declaration from the Trump regime in Abrego Garcia v. Noem boils down to this: <br>“Defendants have no updates for the Court beyond what was provided yesterday.” Which was virtually nothing responsive to what the trial judge has ordered answered. <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815.64.0.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">storage.courtlistener.com/reca</span><span class="invisible">p/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815.64.0.pdf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LawFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LawFedi</span></a> 1/</p>

Heidi Li Feldman<p>The judge in Abrego Garcia’s case, Judge Xinis, is documenting the Trump executive’s noncompliance with her orders. This is ordinarily the way a judge forces compliance. In this case it will probably serve as proof in support of a contempt judgement. <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815.61.0_1.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">storage.courtlistener.com/reca</span><span class="invisible">p/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815/gov.uscourts.mdd.578815.61.0_1.pdf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LawFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LawFedi</span></a></p>
