Outstanding analysis and brief. Were that all jurisprudence be like this. Thank you for a straightforward journey through this thicket of clumsy, fumble-fingered, yclept "justice".
The opinion demonstrates a judicial restraint and decorum that must have taken a few edits to express. I speculate that an earlier draft may have read "Respondents clearly had no purpose but to terrorize the immigrant population of the United States by sending this man beyond the seas to be tortured and killed, and when they failed to find a country that would torture and kill him, they tried to find another,and another, and another (one must at least credit their persistence), meanwhile attempting unsuccessfully to conceal their sadistic purpose by the most easily chackable sort of courtroom perjury."
Is there any semblance of logic behind the government's treatment of Sr. Abrego Garcia? Why is his case commanding such an outlay of human and financial resources? Any cost-benefit analysis of the months and months spent on prosecuting (persecuting?) this one man must tell you there is something else going on. I wish that I could figure out what it is. But if we are truly in Kafka's world, as it says in one of his short stories, the condemned man does not need to know his sentence, "He experiences it on his own body.” And the body of American jurisprudence is experiencing the case of Sr. Albrego Garcia as it goes on. Blessings to you all.
Below is our Redeclaration that as men of the Republic, we reaffirm that the Coequal Rights of Conscience may not be infringed, that Self Governance is the Supreme Law of these Lands—and that, we do so for the reunification of our Country, as one People with a shared American Identity in common, as we stand against tyranny of all forms.
Thank goodness for you all👍🏾💙💙💙
“Kafkaesque” was the perfect adjective for that very tragic weekend! Again listening to Main Justice was best remedy. Thank you!
Thank you for your stellar research.

Truly, wishing Mr Garcia and his whole family a very Merry Christmas!
I don’t think they are talking about Joe Kafka here!!!
