Summary
In an embarrassing loss for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi's Department of Justice, a federal magistrate judge rejected the DOJ's attempts to detain Abrego Garcia pending trial in his criminal case in Tennessee.
Glenn discusses the scathing nature of Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes' 51-page order denying the DOJ's motion to jail Garcia pending trial. The judge chastises the DOJ's lawyers for offering unreliable double and triple hearsay evidence, and points out that some of the "evidence" the DOJ offered the court "defies common sense".
Glenn also discusses how, by having her DOJ lawyers go into court and take unsupportable positions, Attorney General Pam Bondi is delegitimizing the DOJ.
