00:00This afternoon we were back in front of Judge Zinnis on remand from the United

00:04States Supreme Court, which last night issued a unanimous 9 to 0 decision

00:10affirming the order of the district judge that they need to facilitate the

00:16return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States and give him all of the

00:21due process that he that he should have had before he was illegally deported and

00:27that they need to do that as quickly as possible and that they need to share

00:31with the court information about what they're doing. After the Supreme Court

00:37issued that order the district judge issued a further order clarifying her

00:43ruling and explaining that the government needs to take all steps

00:47reasonable to facilitate the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia to the United States and

00:53that in the meanwhile it needs to provide the court with information

00:58specifically three pieces of information. One, where is Mr. Abrego Garcia right now?

01:04What is his custodial status? Two, what has the government done so far to try to

01:12bring him back? There were several days when the court's order was in effect prior

01:18to the Supreme Court entering a stay and now it's been more than 12 hours since

01:24the Supreme Court lifted the stay. What has the government done during that time to

01:31bring him back? And then three, what is the government planning to do to carry out

01:38the court's order which is again to take all reasonable steps to facilitate the

01:44return of Mr. Abrego Garcia to the United States as quickly as possible. The

01:49government refused to provide any of those pieces of information that the

01:54judge ordered them to provide. Not only the information about what future steps

01:59they're planning to take, they even refused to answer the question about what

02:04they've done so far and they even refused to answer the question about where

02:08Kilmer Abrego Garcia is today. For the second time in this case, they sent a

02:14lawyer into court who had no answers. He explained that his clients, the

02:21government, have chosen not to give him any information, not to give him any

02:24evidence. And the district judge appropriately was not willing to accept their vague and

02:36unsubstantiated assertions that, don't worry judge, we'll take care of this all in

02:40due course. The government attorney did say that they intend to comply with the

02:47order and bring him back. That's the bare minimum. They should have done that

02:51already. They've had plenty of time between the Supreme Court's order early

02:56yesterday evening and now. He should be here in the United States. It's a five hour flight.

02:59Yes.
