Ignoring SCOTUS

Movement in Abrego Garcia case: Yesterday, a panel of judges with the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the administration's attempts to stay a court order that would have released Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).

"The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration last week to facilitate the release of Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man that three government officials admitted was mistakenly sent to El Salvador's most notorious prison, along with several hundred other alleged gang members," writes Reason's C.J. Ciaramella. "However, the Trump administration has done nothing to comply with that order; it insists it has no power to return Abrego Garcia from another sovereign state—nor does a court have the authority to force it to do so."

Note too that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele was in the Oval Office on Monday, so it's not like Trump has no contact or sway with the foreign power holding Abrego Garcia in its custody.
