Kristi Noem v Abrego Garcia (US Supreme Court, No. 24A949) (Response of Abrego Garcia and Supporting Amici Brief)

Excerpt:  “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 Executive branch may not seize individuals from the streets, deposit them in foreign prisons in violation of court orders, and then invoke the separation of powers to insulate its unlawful actions from judicial scrutiny. “
