WOW: “Defendants are not in a position where they "can" share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality.” DOJ refuses to say more, doesn’t even say whether they are refusing to appear at 1 pm hearing
Case 8:25-cv-00951-PX
Document 59 Filed 04/11/25
Page 1 of 2
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
(Greenbelt Division)
KILMAR ARMANDO ABREGO
GARCIA et al.,
Plaintiffs,
Civil No.: 8:25-cv-00951-PX
DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO AMENDED PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER
v.
KRISTI NOEM, Secretary of Homeland Security, et al.,
Defendants.
RESPONSE TO AMENDED PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER
Defendants are unable to provide the information requested by the Court on
the impracticable deadline set by the Court hours after the Supreme Court issued its order. The Supreme Court's order directs the Court to "clarify its directive, with due
regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign
affairs." Abrego Garcia v. Noem, 25A949, 604 U. S. —
. (2025), Op. at 2. The Court
has not yet clarified what it means to "facilitate" or "effectuate" the return as it relates
to this case, as Plaintiff is in the custody of a foreign sovereign. Defendants request—
and require-the opportunity to brief that issue prior to being subject to any
compliance deadlines. Needless to say, Defendants were under no obligation to take
action under the court's order while it was administratively stayed by the Chief
Justice of the United States. In light of the insufficient amount of time afforded to
review the Supreme Court's Order following the dissolution of the administrative stayin this case, Defendants are not in a position where they "can" share any information
requested by the Court. That is the reality. Defendants received the order late in the evening last night. They are reviewing the order and actively evaluating next steps.
It is unreasonable and impracticable for Defendants to reveal potential steps before
those steps are reviewed, agreed upon, and vetted. Foreign affairs cannot operate on
judicial timelines, in part because it involves sensitive country-specific considerations
wholly inappropriate for judicial review.

The key line is, "in the custody of a foreign sovereign." The Administration is—predictably—treating SCOTUS as having upheld its legal theory that the moment it sells a body to Nayib Bukele, it can't retrieve it because he has _permanent_ custody of it. And that's how the slave trade works, folks.

BREAKING: As expected, and consistent with all the PROOF reporting from the past week, the Trump administration has now _refused to follow court orders_ in the Abrego Garcia case. Major media misinformed the public by telling them that the Supreme Court ruling in the case was a win for rule of law.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

The Social Security Administration is now wrongly informing some SSI recipients they are no longer receiving benefits. This comes as agency cuts have led to repeated website crashes and overwhelmed phone lines.  This is what DOGE's "efficiency" looks like.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.
