As predicted.
Roberts gave no official reason yet, but we all know how this case is going to end up.
Most likely, the Supreme Court is going to say that while the Trump administration made an “administrative error” in deporting him, there is currently no enforceable remedy available. There’s also the chance that they’ll just slip in a reminder that this man’s deportation was an “executive decision” by Trump as part of his official duties and is therefore immune from any legal liability even when he makes an error.
Most likely, the official decision is going to render Xinis’ order unenforceable and therefore quashed and that’ll be the end of this case. His family may continue trying to pursue this case through civil litigation, but will most likely run into the same wall of “Too bad, so sad, Trump’s immune, sucks to be you.”
“Checks cleared and the vacations are paid for, fuck that guy we are getting paid” - Roberts
I had an amazing fantasy earlier of sending the supreme court to this very same prison
In this case, I think the morality around leaving him there is more important than a power struggle over what the courts can and can’t tell the president to do.
Hell… Trump COULD try to get him returned, but it’s still choosing not to
I think Trump should fly there on Air Force 1, personally escort this man out, and kneel and ask his forgiveness on air, and fly him home.
