Yeah, I mean, that's one way to read it, certainly. Meanwhile, there's a bit of dual messaging going on. You know, while in court, the administration is saying they complied with the judge's order, outside of court, different members of the administration are sending an entirely different message.

wouldn't want a bunch of criminal gang members kicked out of the country? And what kind of crazy liberal judge would order those gang members back into America?
