The administration defied a federal judge's order to provide a written road map of its plans to free the man, Garcia

The Trump administration on Friday continued to pursue its stubborn fight against securing the freedom of a Maryland man it inadvertently deported to a Salvadoran prison last month despite a court order that expressly said he could remain in the United States.

Taking an increasingly combative stance, the administration defied a federal judge’s order to provide a written road map of its plans to free the man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. Trump officials then repeatedly stonewalled her efforts to get the most basic information about him at a court hearing.

During the hearing, in Federal District Court in Maryland, the judge, Paula Xinis, called the administration’s evasions “extremely troubling” and demanded that the Justice Department provide her with daily updates on the White House’s progress in getting Mr. Abrego Garcia back on U.S. soil.

“The court finds that the defendants have failed to comply with this court’s order,” Judge Xinis wrote in a ruling Friday afternoon.

6. Based on similar situations, I'd say 'nowhere'.

No one seems to want to uphold the law against the fascists, and no one seems to want to handle it with any other means, so nothing is going to happen.

Until some judge grows a spine along with some marshals... this is where we will be for a long time.

4. That's it?

5. Trump says to the court: "Make me". Can they? Will they? How? n/t
