In Nashville -- The Noemites Were Just Ordered To Stop Libeling Mr. Abrego Garcia In The Press. The Law Requires Statements Restricted To Those Charged, In The "Indictment"

More sunshine -- about what these lawless government thugs are endlessly doing -- is an important, but partial. . . antiseptic. Today a court order backs it.

The lawyers for Abrego this morning received an order from the able USDC Judge Crenshaw in Nashville -- which should be tacked to the front door of the Veep's office, Ms. Noem's office, Stephen Miller's office -- and the Oval Office: stop making FALSE statements to the press about a pending criminal matter.

That is a 120 year standing crim. pro. law edict. And Team Tangerine 2.0 pretends they are "above" fair trials, now. Dammit. Here's what was "so ordered" this morning -- and a bit:

. . .From the moment Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia challenged his illegal rendition to El Salvador in March 2025, the government has repeatedly maligned him in public statements. Instead of complying with the Supreme Court’s order that it “facilitate” Mr. Abrego’s return to the United States, the government launched a public disparagement campaign against him to justify his unlawful detention in El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (“CECOT”), one of the most violent, inhumane prisons in the world. As Mr. Abrego’s plight captured national attention, officials occupying the highest positions of the United States government baselessly labeled him a “gangbanger,” “monster,” “illegal predator,” “illegal alien terrorist,” “wife beater,” “barbarian,” and “human trafficker.” The Vice President, a Yale Law School graduate, went so far as to flatly lie about Mr. Abrego, calling him a “convicted MS-13 gang member,” notwithstanding that Mr. Abrego in fact has never been convicted of any crime at all. . . .

When the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) finally retrieved Mr. Abrego from El Salvador, only to indict him on human smuggling charges in this District, the government did not stop attacking him. Instead, on the day of Mr. Abrego’s initial appearance, he was assailed in no fewer than twenty separate public statements from across the Executive Branch. In announcing the charges against Mr. Abrego, Attorney General Bondi held a news conference at which she detailed irrelevant, baseless allegations that Mr. Abrego “solicited nude photographs and videos of a minor” and “played a role in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother. . . .” [Ed. Note: All of these are manifestly false -- and thus libelous -- statements.]

Mr. Abrego is entitled to a fair trial “by an impartial jury free from outside influences.” Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333, 362 (1966). But he is nearly certain to be denied that right if the government, left to its own devices, stays its current course. Like all parties who appear before this Court, the government is required to abide by Local Criminal Rule 2.01. That Rule prohibits making “an extrajudicial statement. . . that. . . will be disseminated by public communication, and will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding in the matter.” M.D. Tenn. L. Crim. R. 2.01(a)(1). The Rule applies equally to lawyers and “the government agencies or offices . . . and employees of such . . . government agencies or offices, with which the lawyer is associated.” Id. 2.01(a)(4). . . .

Thank you, USDC Judge Crenshaw. Onward.
