I mean, I think it's interesting that as this administration becomes more bold about disregarding court orders, they still feel the need to pretend that they are following the court orders. I mean, Stephen Miller could have gotten up there and just said, you know, screw the Supreme Court, we're going to do what we want. He didn't.

He instead chose to mischaracterize their ruling and say that they were complying with it. Which they're not. On the other hand, the Supreme Court could have been a little more clearer than it was, and I think maybe they will be a little bit clearer the next time the case gets up to them. I think it'll be interesting to see what the administration does when there isn't the available fig leaf.

Because the Supreme Court, for those who didn't look at the order closely, the district judge had ordered the government to facilitate and effectuate Kilmar's return to the United States.

And what the Supreme Court said was they should facilitate it, but the district court needs to go back and say what they mean by effectuate because you have to have a certain degree of deference to the executive branch and the conduct of foreign policy.

Right, and the Supreme Court can come back, and I think quite possibly will end up having to come back to give more detailed instructions to the U.S. government about what it should do here. The obvious fact on the matter is that if we wanted this guy back, we would have him back. The government of El Salvador is quite pliant to the Trump administration, as you saw from him in the Oval Office.

It's literally true that we cannot extract an El Salvadoran citizen from El Salvador without the consent of the government of El Salvador. But the obvious thing is that we would get the consent of the government of El Salvador if we actually wanted it.

Right. So that's another way that the courts might end up intervening here is they can say, you know, well, you can't send money to El Salvador for this. And that's a domestic thing, even though there's the foreign policy component here. So I think we're not quite done with this case and the Supreme Court and seeing what the administration will do.
