Given that they (probably) turned around a plane in the air this morning, I don't think functional noncompliance is a real issue here. As for administrative noncompliance, a likely explanation remains that DOJ did not receive the first posthearing order (because no appearance was filed).
You don't know what they did. Their history is to lie to the court so I suspect they did not turn anything around.
Also the amount of hours it’s taken them to get these kids back would indicate you may be correct.
I’d be surprised if they were lying about this. They tell a certain kind of lie all the time - we misunderstood your order, it wasn’t in writing so didn’t count, we have no jurisdiction over that… they don’t usually lie about easily proven facts.
They lied to Judge Boasberg in the DC D.C. as to whether the plane to Venezuela was beyond US jurisdiction. That's why he held a hearing just last week on whether to hold the gov't in contempt of court.
While looking up this older case I discovered that the US may now be at war with Venezuela
Isn’t this the same case where the government lawyers said the order should have been in writing?
Pronouns are tricky here. Today's case, L.G.M.L. v. Noem was filed at 1:02am TODAY, Aug. 31, and is (now) before Judge Sooknanan. That is not the same as J.G.G., the case before Judge Boasberg, that is the subject of contempt proceedings now stayed by the en banc DC Circuit. So: No. [fixed typo]

That’s too generous based on their clear and obvious track record.
