MUST WATCH: ICE agents ran over a protester. Fled the scene. Hit a bystander on a bike.
Then threw smoke grenades at the crowd.
This all happened in broad daylight in the middle of downtown L.A.

![“False Premise” Objections.
Defendants object to certain discovery because they claim
the requests are based on the “false premise that the United States can or has been ordered to
facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador.”[2]
See Defs.’ Objs. & Resps. to Pls.’ First Set of Expedited Interrogs., ECF No. 98-1 at 3. Defendants—and their counsel—well
know that the falsehood lies not in any supposed “premise,” but in their continued
mischaracterization of the Supreme Court’s Order. That Order made clear that this Court “properly
required 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.” See Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S. –– (2025), slip op. at 2; see also Abrego Garcia
v. Noem, No. 25-1404, 2025 WL 1135112, at *1 (4th Cir. Apr. 17, 2025). Defendants’ objection
reflects a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations. The objection is
overruled. Defendants are therefore ordered to supplement their answers in full compliance with
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Their answers must include facts responsive to the requests,
not oblique and incomplete, non-specific characterizations. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)(3) (requiring
that each interrogatory be answered “fully”).

Here is the colloquy leading up to this paragraph.
The judge coined the term "Shrodinger's Visa," which I find appropriate and pithy. #SaveSEVIS

MR. [DOJ ATTORNEY]
I'm not able to answer that question,
Your Honor.
THE COURT: How are you not able to answer that
question? What does that even mean? He's either here legally or he's not here legally. You're the government's lawyer. Is he here legally? I mean, how is Mr. [client] supposed to know if he's here legally if you don't even know if he is here legally?
MR. He was lawfully admitted to the United
States --
THE COURT: No, no, Mr. [DOJ Attorney] there's a -- no, no Mr. [DOJ Attorney] there is a yes or no answer here. We are not --
this is not Schrodinger's visa, either he's here legally or he's not here legally. If you cannot answer the question, you have to explain to me why you cannot answer that question.
MR. [DOJ ATTORNEY]
I cannot answer that question. I have
talked to ICE as to whether or not they consider at this point in time the individual, whether or not they are maintaining lawful status.
THE COURT: And what does ICE say to that?
MR. [DOJ ATTORNEY]
I have not received a response](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifhs73rqksovslobfolhcryr4gfur6rdnoedo6bn6jbn2hoxactnu)

This has to be one of the craziest admissions from A JUDGE that l've ever seen in a court transcript. What the hell are we doing here?!
[Start screenshot]
THE COURT: Do you realize that this is Kafkaesque?
I've got two experienced immigration lawyers on behalf of a client who is months away from graduation, who has done nothing wrong, who has been terminated from a system that you all keep telling me has no effect on his immigration status, although that clearly is BS. And now, his two very experienced lawyers can't even tell him whether or not he's here legally, because the Court can't tell him whether or not he's here legally, because the government's counsel can't tell him if he's here legally.
