Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers — appropriately, imho — blast DOJ's request this morning to move all of this into mid-next week.

At the same time, Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers have already responded, calling this morning's actions by the government "another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty." They "vigorously oppose" the extension request and will be at the 1p hearing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This Court’s order to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return was issued one week ago. It was
not stayed until Monday afternoon. Accordingly, the Government should have been taking actions
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning, and the Government can report on those. The

Supreme Court lifted the stay yesterday evening. Accordingly, the Government should have been
taking actions last night and this morning, and it can report on those. The Government should
likewise be in a position to tell the Court in general terms what its further plan is to facilitate Mr.
Abrego Garcia’s return, and who in the Government is responsible for implementing that plan.

Instead, the Government continues to delay, obfuscate, and flout court orders, while a
man’s life and safety is at risk. Its request for an extension—filed this morning in defiance of the
Court’s rules requiring consultation with Plaintiffs’ counsel—is another stunning display of
arrogance and cruelty. It did not take that time to ponder whether to remove Garcia—which it
effectuated within 72 hours of his unlawful seizure—and it does not need that time to comply with
this Court’s and the Supreme Court’s rulings. We vigorously oppose the Government’s motion,
and we further request that the Government immediately report on Mr. Abrego Garcia’s safety and
well being. We will attend the scheduled hearing at 1 p.m.
