Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia say Trump administration's actions left 'stain' on Constitution
Lawyers for Kilmar Abrego Garcia are accusing President Donald Trump's administration of pretending for weeks to be powerless to bring him back to the United States from El Salvador, despite orders from a federal judge and the Supreme Court to facilitate his return. Abrego Garcia's attorneys made the allegation in a court filing shortly after the Maryland construction worker was flown to Tennessee on Friday to face federal human smuggling charges. '(T)he Government has always had the ability to return Abrego Garcia, but it has simply refused to do so,' the attorneys wrote, arguing that the administration has 'engaged in an elaborate, all-of-government effort to defy court orders, deny due process, and disparage Abrego Garcia.' The attorneys said the lawsuit over his mistaken deportation has not concluded in a Maryland federal court. 'The executive branch's wanton disregard for the judicial branch has left a stain on the Constitution,' the attorneys wrote. 'If there is to be any hope of removing that stain, it must start by shining a light on the improper actions of the Government in this tragic affair and imposing meaningful remedies.' Abrego Garcia's attorneys made that argument in response to a filing by the Trump administration to halt the lawsuit's proceedings because he's back in the U.S. U.S. attorneys asked for an immediate stay after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the charges in Tennessee. The attorneys wrote that the government complied with the Maryland federal court's order to return Abrego Garcia. The U.S. intends to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. In a court filing on Tuesday, the Trump administration pushed back against the accusations of Abrego Garcia's lawyers, describing them as baseless, desperate and disappointing. 'But the proof is in the pudding — Defendants have returned Abrego Garcia to the United States just as they were ordered to do,' the U.S. attorneys wrote. 'None of Plaintiffs' hyperbolic arguments change that or justify further proceedings in this matter.' U.S. officials said Abrego Garcia was deported because of a 2019 accusation from local police in Maryland that he was an MS-13 gang member. Abrego Garcia has denied the allegation and was never charged with a crime, his attorneys said. Abrego Garcia's deportation violated a U.S. immigration judge's order in 2019 that shielded him from expulsion to his native country. The immigration judge had determined that Abrego Garcia faced likely persecution by a local Salvadoran gang that had terrorized his family. Abrego Garcia's American wife sued over his deportation. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered his return on April 4. The Supreme Court ruled on April 10 that the administration must work to bring him back. Arguments ensued over the next several weeks about whether the Trump administration was following those orders or not. Meanwhile, Trump said publicly that he could return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. with a call to El Salvador's president. The federal judge in Maryland ordered U.S. attorneys to submit documents and testimony to show what the government had done to follow her orders. The Trump administration claimed that much of that information is protected under the state secrets privilege. The judge has not ruled on that matter.

Florida Bar failed to do its job on Bondi, and Miami Herald should have said so
On June 5, three civil society groups and 70 prominent lawyers, law professors and judges filed a complaint with The Florida Bar, urging it to investigate how U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi misused the concept of 'zealous advocacy' to serve the Trump administration's goals. As Miami Herald federal courts reporter Jay Weaver's June 7 article on the complaint documents, Bondi violated her fundamental ethical obligations by repeatedly firing Justice Department lawyers — or forcing them to resign — when they insisted on acting ethically. In the most glaring example, she fired a department lawyer for telling the truth in court. The Florida Bar, which is responsible for enforcing the state's Rules of Professional Conduct fairly and impartially, rejected the complaint the very next day. The Bar claimed it 'does not investigate or prosecute sitting officers appointed under the U.S. Constitution while they are in office.' In doing so, The Florida Bar abdicated its responsibility to both the public and the legal profession. Rather than calling on The Florida Bar to do its job, the Miami Herald Editorial Board wrote a deeply confused editorial criticizing the signers of the complaint — including two former Florida Supreme Court justices — for seeking accountability. The editorial argued that the complaint aimed to politicize Bondi's unethical conduct. Ironically, the editorial acknowledged that Bondi is 'deeply political' and committed to advancing President Trump's agenda 'at all costs.' It even affirmed that 'ethical standards must be enforced' because they are 'a cornerstone of the legal profession.' The editorial also conceded that Bondi's conduct warrants 'scrutiny' due to the 'enormous amount of power' she holds. Yet it rejected an investigation by the one entity Florida law charges with regulating attorney ethics. In the Herald's Kafkaesque world, when political actors commit ethical violations, nothing should be done — because taking action might fuel partisanship. Surely, it cannot be that Americans must accept a federal government that acts unethically and without consequence. That's intolerable in a nation governed by the rule of law. The Florida Bar is simply wrong in claiming it cannot investigate ethical violations by federal 'constitutional officers.' In passing the McDade Amendment, Congress explicitly rejected the Bar's argument that investigating federal officials would encroach on federal authority. The McDade Amendment states plainly: 'Attorneys for the Government shall be subject to State laws and rules... to the same extent and in the same manner as other attorneys in that State.' Rather than attacking the complainants, the Herald's Editorial Board should have directed its criticism at The Florida Bar for evading its oversight duties. A newspaper known for tough and independent investigative reporting should not shirk from holding the Attorney General — or the Bar itself — accountable. James W. Conrad, Jr. heads Conrad Law & Policy Counsel, Abbe Smith is a member of the Georgetown University Law Center and Ellen Yaroshefsky is a professor at Hofstra School of Law. All three were were signatories to the complaint.

Yes, there has been looting, and some cars have been burned and vandalized. But Trump is lying about the extent of lawlessness. Trump is following his bad policies with even worse provocations that could portend a modern-day Kent State tragedy with soldiers firing live bullets at protesters. But for Trump, the more chaos, the better. As a White House official said, 'We're happy to have this fight.' To some extent this fight to suppress dissent has been boiling in Trump for five years. During nationwide demonstrations after the police murder of George Floyd in 2020, Trump, then in his first term, asked members of his Cabinet whether protesters could be shot. 'He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak, and 'us' meant him,' Mark Esper, Trump's former defense secretary, Advertisement Esper recalled Trump saying to now-retired General Mark Milley, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ''Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?' … It was a suggestion and a formal question. And we were just all taken aback at that moment as this issue just hung very heavily in the air.' Ultimately, Trump was talked out of it.

Trump has not invoked the Insurrection Act, but neither has he ruled out unleashing US troops on protesters.
