Rather than just post a link -- I am posting the able USDC Judge Paula Xinis's order in full text below. This is how you. . . run a court, when a man's life literally hangs in the balance (due to shocking ICE / DHS / governmental incompetence -- at best):
. . .The Supreme Court’s April 10, 2025 decision in Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S.—–, No. 24A949, affirmed this Court’s Order at ECF No. 21 (the “Order”), and directed that on remand, this Court clarify its use of the term “effectuate,” according proper deference to the Executive Branch in its conduct of foreign affairs. See Slip Op. at 2. To this end, the Court hereby amends the Order to DIRECT that Defendants take all available steps to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States as soon as possible.
Further, as the Supreme Court made clear, “the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps.” See Slip Op. at 2.
Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS Defendants to file, by no later than 9:30 AM ET on Friday, April 11, 2025, a supplemental declaration from an individual with personal knowledge, addressing the following: (1) the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s immediate return to the United States; and (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return. To the extent Defendants believe any portion of their submission must be filed under seal, they shall comply with the Court’s Local Rules governing the sealing of materials. See D. Md. Loc. R. 105.11.
Finally, the Court will hold an in-person status conference on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, at the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, 6500 Cherrywood Lane, Greenbelt, Maryland 20770. . . .
And so we see that the vast majority (now around 100-to-1) of all US lawyers and judges (regardless of political leanings) are saying the same thing to Tangerine 2.0 and Kristi Noem: the notion of ordered liberty, under the law -- and due process. . . "will not die -- not on my watch". Onward.

Just a lil' background, on this fine USDC Judge -- nominated by BHO 44TH:
. . .Xinis is of Greek ancestry. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree, summa cum laude, in 1991 from the University of Virginia. She received a Juris Doctor in 1997 from Yale Law School. She began her legal career as a law clerk for Judge Diana Gribbon Motz of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, from 1997 to 1998. From 1998 to 2011, she served as an assistant federal public defender, serving as director of Training for the office from 2006 to 2011. She served at the law firm of Murphy, Falcon & Murphy in Baltimore, Maryland, as a senior trial attorney from 2011 and as a partner from 2013 to 2016. She practiced both civil and criminal litigation. . . .
There you have it -- very much looking forward to tomorrow (and peeking in at 8:30 am local in Chicago, on that 25-cv-511 Docket in Maryland). Let Mr. Garcia stay safe through the night, tonight. And any additional days and nights it might take to get him . . . home. That is my meditation, to close the evening -- I will chant it as a mantra.
Onward.
I’m a bit of a pessimist. I think the word ‘facilitate’ will be their bar and they will slow walk this saying they’re trying.
You sure seem to be right -- the Noem-ites say they need until April 15 to "study a two page SCOTUS ruling"!?! Of course, they won't get that much time but see new post -- and do stay tuned.
Namaste -- and thanks!
More, in the new post -- as we get it -- but two new updates, here:
