XINIS orders that Abrego not be moved from his detention facility in Virginia, in order to ensure he has access to counsel. Xinis asks Ensign if her oral order is enough — knowing Ensign has previously argued that only written orders count. Ensign says the oral order is fine(!)
Nuremberg 2.0 had better be in the near future
Don't take him at his word! Issue written orders from the bench immediately! Just like every voter in America will need to verify their voter registration status before election day to ensure they haven't been purged from the roster, judges, esp in this case, need to be overkill on process.
Love how every judge is just totally not willing to fight fascism at all.
I’m really confused what you think she should be doing here
Well probably order the immediate jailing for contempt of the head of ICE but in this very specific case probably issue a written order so they don't pretend the verbal order doesn't count in 3 days like they did last time.

Next court appearance DOJ will be whining that they ended up deporting Garcia because they didn’t receive a written order and that it was completely unreasonable to expect anyone to pick up the phone or send an email.
