[U: Settlement Agreement?] Rubio / Noem / Trump Have Moved To Stay Judge Xinis' Orders In Maryland, Related To Discovery.

Updated @ 8:15 PM EDT: It is all under seal at the moment, but stay tuned, because I expect she will rule later tonight -- denying all stays. and although the actual pleadings are sealed, it seems a fair inference now, given an agreed by all parties stay. . . to guess that either the government is in the process of returning Mr. Abrego Garcia to the Maryland area, or the United States (at least), or has negotiated a settlement with him -- that allows for him to be safely transported to some other nation that will host him (France, Canada, Mexico or. . . Ireland?!). We shall see.

I make this guess because there is no sworn Mazzaro status update tonight -- as to his particulars (it was due at 5 PM).

That would at least arguably imply that inside the sealed motions is a discussion of the steps that are being taken either to get him home here -- or on, to another friendly country.

Still, a man is being wrongly held in a foreign land, and the government well-knows it is able (and ordered by the Supremes!) to bring him back here. But it is -- to this moment, defying Supreme Court orders, now. This simply will NOT do.

. . .The Court has reviewed Defendants’ Motion to Stay (ECF No. 101) and Plaintiffs’ Response (ECF No. 102).

With the agreement of the parties, the Court hereby ORDERS that discovery shall be stayed (ECF Nos. 61 & 79) until April 30, 2025, at 5:00 PM. . . .

[More, as it becomes available.]

Onward -- but that's seven days' reprieve -- to get him stateside.
