The Fourth Circuit denies' bid to block Judge Sinez's order to facilitate the return of Abrago-Garcia,

as she orders two weeks of intense discovery prior to considering holding the government in contempt.

The ACLU has filed a new habeas petition pursuant to Judge Bozberg's order for due process for those remaining in El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act proclamation.

process. And also, big thanks to Steve Vladic, who joined us last week and gave us all the foundation
