STATEMENT This case is one of one. It presents the "extraordinary circumstances" of the Government conceding that it erred in removing Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia "to a foreign country for which he was not eligible for removal." Abrego Garcia v. Noem, No. 25-1345, 2025 WL 1021113, at *6 (4th Cir. Apr. 7, 2025) (Wilkinson, J. concurring). The Government knew about the court order prohibiting Abrego Garcia's removal to El Salvador, and admits that removing him in violation of that order was an "administrative error." Id. at *1 (Thacker, J., with King, J., concurring). Abrego Garcia has never been charged with a crime, in any country. He is not wanted by the Government of El Salvador. He sits in a foreign prison solely at the behest of the United States, as the product of a Kafka-esque mistake. The Government "can—and does-return wrongfully removed migrants as a matter of course," id. at *4 (citing Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 435 (2009) (noting that removed individuals "can be afforded effective relief by facilitation of their return")). The district court's order instructing the Government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return is routine. See Abrego Garcia, 2025 WL 1021113, at *4 n. 7 (Thacker, J., with King, J., concurring) (collecting cases). It does not implicate foreign policy or even domestic immigration policy in any case. The United States has never claimed that it is powerless to correct its error and before today, it did not contend that doing so would cause it any harm. That is because the only one harmed by the current state of affairs is Abrego Garcia. The Government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of the case. Its application to this Court is built on a series of strawmen: first, that ordering the Government to

"frustrated with negative headlines"....but not angry about the security breach

Thinking about my friends in the CIA and active duty who are leaning today their government doesn’t care about their lives and safety.

Jewish security grants in limbo amid FEMA funding freeze Jewish institutions that rely on the Nonprofit Security Grant Program have not received grants allocated to them during a 30-day FEMA funding freeze

Amid rising antisemitism, the pause in FEMA funding means Jewish and other vulnerable institutions don’t have access to the Nonprofit Security Grants they use to harden their infrastructure against threats.

Wtf

I guess Signal is better than the toilet in Mar a lago right? 🤷

NSA warned of vulnerabilities in Signal app a month before Houthi strike chat The National Security Agency sent a bulletin in February warning of Russian hackers trying to access encrypted conversations on Signal.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

Disgraceful response. They never take responsibility. Pete Hegseth put our national security at risk. He is completely unfit to lead.

Honestly it’s not at all funny. I’ve spent 11 years teaching adult women civics. Most Americans could not pass the citizenship test. Now knowing the basics is actually a matter of life and death.

How did so many people in this country become so heartless?

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.
