Hilarious. "ICE-Barbie" Noem Is Just Now (Finally) Realizing... She's Lost, In Nashville -- Come The 28th. All Subsequent Trial Orders Stayed... Until That Dismissal Hearing Is Decided.

To (sort of) channel T.S. Eliot, it comes "not with a bang. . . but a whimper."

I'd put the probability around 90% -- that the very capable USDC Judge Waverly Crenshaw will simply toss the goevernment's case against Abrego, by (or shortly after) month's end.

And he may seek to impose sanctions (for misconduct, and repeated misrepresentations to the court) against Messrs. McGuire and Boucek. And maybe even Noem and Bovino -- we'll wait to see (but these latter two would a stretch, in truth -- as they held presss briefings, only). But Noem held one in Nashville in late Spring -- where she repeatedly lied about the accused. So we shall see. Here's the "game -- set -- match" admission, just filed this afternoon:

. . .COMES NOW the United States of America, by and through Braden Boucek, United States Attorney, and First Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert E. McGuire and moves this Court to stay any deadlines related to the jury trial in this case.

Previously, this Court set deadlines as part of a global scheduling order (DE # 103) and also granted the Government an extension to file responses to the Defendant’s Motions in Limine which also extended the Defendant’s time to file any optional replies (DE # 256). The Court has since canceled the January 27, 2026, trial date, to be rescheduled after the Court rules on the Defendant’s pending motion to dismiss. (DE # 281.)

Therefore, the United States respectfully requests that the Court stay all trial-related deadlines pending further orders of this Court. The undersigned has conferred with defense counsel who has no opposition to this Motion. . . .

Tune in on the 28^th -- as I've said, I'll be there in person the night before -- and live blogging at 9 AM inside Judge Crenshaw's 3C Courtroom. Onward, goggled and grinning.
