airspace, as we've discussed.

They were sent to Seacott in El Salvador.

And then eventually released into, uh, Venezuela, Jeb Bosberg now has spent almost an entire year trying not only to get these illegal Venezuelans back to the United States, but to use that oral order.

He calls it as the basis of contempt findings against the Trump administration that because they did not return those planes, they were in contempt of court.

So what did he do today, Steve?

Here we are almost a year later.

He finally issues an order demanding that not just the DOJ return the men who have now also left Venezuela, they're a third-party country, that's what he called them, arrange for remote habeas hearings for the people who are still in Venezuela, but the men who are flown back to the United States who want to

advance their habeas claims.

That means get out of detention or continue to oppose their designation as an AEA subject.

Jeb Bosberg ordered the government to pay for these men to be flown back to the United States, meaning, of course, you and me and everyone else pays for their transport back here.

Out of Seacott last year and sent back to their home countries of Venezuela.

So they are not in prison anymore.

They are either in Venezuela, where Bosberg has acknowledged that there won't be a way to get them back here because of what's happening between the United States and Venezuela.

And he nonetheless wants to make sure that those people, those men who are in Venezuela, can get some sort of remote hearing and file more paperwork related to their habeas petitions, meaning...

get out of detention, which they're not in.

I don't know how you can continue a habeas petition when you're not in U.S.

custody anymore.

Right.

So these men were at CICAD, as we said.

They were released into Venezuela with that prisoner swap.
