A U.S. judge pressed a government lawyer on Wednesday on whether Republican President Donald Trump was telling the truth when he said he could secure the return of wrongly deported migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia with a phone call to El Salvador’s president.
Washington D.C.-based U.S. District Judge James Boasberg asked the question of Justice Department lawyer Abhishek Kambli at a hearing in a different case, in which the government is arguing it cannot obtain custody of some 137 Venezuelan migrants being held in a Salvadoran mega-prison after being deported under an 18th-century wartime law.
“Didn’t the president say just last week that he could secure the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia simply by picking up the phone and asking the president of El Salvador to release him?" Boasberg said, referring to Trump’s comments in an April 30 ABC News interview. “So is the President not telling the truth?”
“Well, your honor, the president’s mouth was moving. I’ll let you draw your own conclusion.”
Somebody needs to start a “It has been X days since failure by the Republicans to adhere to Supreme and Federal Court orders was met with no consequences.”

Nah. That’s old, cringe, and something children do when their young. Use adult techniques to talk about adult matters. Don’t act like SpongeBob. That’s the presidents shtick
Fuck off already.
You sound like a great hang and have lots of friends while leading a fulfilling life

Lighten up or fuck off
Umm no. You are a child. Get serious or fuck off. The fate of a country isn’t a joke to anyone but Nazis
The Gatekeepers lose a down, and get a 5 yard penalty.
People use humor to cope.
Calling people children is such a stupid insult. It doesn’t mean anything at all. It’s one of those “I don’t like this” insults.
I think you policing internet comments as if you know shit is childish, how’s that? We can do this all day and get no where.
Sir, this is a Lemmy.
Cringe is freedom.
Bruh
He can. He doesn’t want to. He doesn’t have a reason to (hint hint).
Well. He could. If he had the mental competence to work a phone.

Is he attacking America until we burn?
Idk if it’s an honest question or your making a joke that I missed, but I’m referencing the Signalgate leaked texts.
You allowed sending over 100 people to a death camp. But, yes, judge poked Trupm in the smallest most indirect way possible. Let’s celebrate the win. System is working. We csn rest.
Do you have a link? 'Cause afaik Judge James Boasberg is fighting Trump over his refusal to bring back at least one of the men sent to CECOT.
“You” was not direcred at the judge. It was you “The People”.
So where do you see “the people” celebrating the win and resting?
Are these people in the room with us right now?
At least once they didn’t allow it and they kept the plane going anyway. Trump has lost essentially every challenge related to these deportations even from Republican judges. Courts are the slowest way for something to happen, but the net is closing consistently.
