Mr. Abrego Garcia Has Filed A "Killer" Habeas Update, Before USDC Judge Xinis In MD Overnight...

Do go read it all -- but the Trumpian/Todd Blanche lying we saw in Nashville, before USDC Judge Waverly Crenshaw (resulting in a dismissal of the purported "indictment") was also underway, with thundering hooves, in Maryland, before the able USDC Jugde Xinis.

She will soon put an end to Blanche's odious charade -- but do consider these particularly egregious bits:

. . .The official whose conduct the court found initiated that “taint” was Todd Blanche -- then Deputy Attorney General, now Acting Attorney General, and a named defendant here.

Blanche declared that the Government began investigating Abrego Garcia only after “a judge in Maryland ‘questioned’” the decision to remove him to El Salvador. Id. at *5. As the Tennessee court found, and the Government has failed to rebut, those statements “directly establish that the motivations for Abrego’s criminal charges stem from his exercise of his constitutional and statutory rights.” Id. The court concluded: “Blanche’s words directly confirm that the Executive Branch reopened the criminal investigation because the Judicial Branch required the Executive Branch to facilitate Abrego’s return from El Salvador. . . .”

After the Court unsealed these papers and the Government’s assertions became public, Costa Rica confirmed its continued, unwavering, and unconditional commitment to accepting Abrego Garcia. ECF No. 110 at 14; ECF No. 108 at 1. That was the third foreign state to undermine the Government’s representations to this Court. ECF No. 110 at 14. At a November 20 hearing, the Government produced the declarant who had signed the submission claiming Costa Rica would not accept Abrego Garcia. He testified that he had no knowledge of Costa Rica’s position and could not explain the contents of his own declaration -- ignorance the Court described as “planned and purposeful.” Id. at 13–14 (quoting ECF No. 107 at 26:8–27:12). Ultimately, the Court concluded that the Government had “affirmatively misled” the Court about Costa Rica’s willingness to accept Abrego Garcia. . . . .

Ahem. It seems this is all just "the worst of the worst". . . doing their collective. . . worst. But soon, Abrego will be a free man (and paid box-car damages), either here in the States, or in Costa Rica -- for this shocking misuse of governmental powers. Onward.
