Excerpt: “Defendants object to certain discovery because they claim the requests are based on the ‘false premise that the United States can or has been ordered to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador.’ … Defendants—and their counsel—well know that the falsehood lies not in any supposed ‘premise,’ but in their continued mischaracterization of the Supreme Court’s Order. That Order made clear that this Court ‘properly required the Government to ‘facilitate’ Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.’ … Defendants’ objection reflects a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations. The objection is overruled.”
