The Willful Disdain For All Court Orders Here Continues: Kristi Noem Is In [VERY!] High Dungeon, This Evening (As To Abrego-Garcia). Do Read. YAWN. It. Won't. Matter.

We have our insouciant answer from Team Noem / Tangerine 2.0: Mr. Abrego Garcia will be released very shortly in Nashville.

He will promptly fly to Maryland -- and hopefully he will be in a "safe house". Hopefully, Noem doesn't think she's the Stazi. We shall see. Here's the awfully intemperate Noem filing just now, in Music City -- and a bit of it:

. . .The United States of America, by and through Robert E. McGuire, Acting United States Attorney, and makes the following response to the Defendant’s Motion to Amend Release Conditions (DE # 106). The United States has steadfastly objected to the Defendant’s release from custody citing his danger to the community and the risk of flight. By making the following response, the United States, to be clear, is not now abandoning that position.

The United States is aware that the Court ordered the defense to respond on behalf of the Government regarding the Government’s position if the Government did not oppose and only ordered the Government to respond if there was opposition to the Defendant’s Motion. However, undersigned counsel believed it was important to file the Government’s position on the record even though the Government is not opposing the Defendant’s Motion to Amend. Undersigned counsel has conferred with the defense and with Pre-trial services as ordered and hopes that the Court will accept this filing in lieu of the defense filing [Ed. Note: Geez! -- the hubris of these Noemites!] since it accomplishes the same end: to alert the Court that the Government does not oppose the Motion. . . .

. . .[S]hould the Defendant be released the United States submits that it has no objection to allowing the Defendant to have 48 hours to travel to Baltimore, Maryland once he is released from U.S. Marshals Custody. The United States understands that, pursuant to this Court’s prior ruling, that the Defendant will be placed on an electronic monitoring device before he is discharged from the facility where he is housed (and, thus, prior to his travel to Maryland) and has confirmed that Pre-trial Service and the U.S. Marshals Service are prepared to effectuate that part of the Court’s order. Therefore, the United States does not oppose the Defendant having 48 hours to travel to Maryland. . . .

Similarly, the United States does not oppose, and would not oppose, the Defendant having access to his attorneys to prepare for trial should he be taken into immigration custody by the Department of Homeland Security at a future point. The United States has an obvious and significant interest in providing the Defendant sufficient access to counsel in order to secure a fair trial for both parties in this case. However, the United States would note that, should the Defendant be removed from the United States to another country via deportation [Ed. Note: what crazy manner of. . . a lawless pile of lies, might such an operation entail?!], the United States would no longer be in a position to facilitate the Defendant’s access to his attorneys at that point. . . .

[That last bit of insouciance, in the final paragraph, has been counter-manded by no fewer than three courts. One of them a US Court of Appeals -- and at least by implication, has been counter-manded by a fourth court -- the court of last resort -- the Supremes, themselves in early April of 2025.] Damn. What an evil pack of miscreants. Out.
