In reply to the discussion: DOJ lawyer tells judge he doesn't know whereabouts of mistakenly deported Maryland man [View all]Ms. Toad
(38,317 posts)19. Have you seen the contract?
The devil, in contracts, is in the details. It could be a per capita payment solely to take deportees in - with no further ability to control what happens to the deportees once they arrive. I have yet to see anything beyond $6 million payment and some further direction at the end of a year (I can't find it immediately, but it was in his attorney's brief to the Supreme Court). His attorney inferred from that that the Trump administration maintained effective control over the detainees - but didn't have any evidence beyond those two facts.

OP
As if they are equal to a Xinis's judging. The judge who just said they will not be relitigating anything.

Exactly. Order court security to take a lawyer or defendant into court custody until the plaintiff is returned.

I knew that was coming. No one in this "administration" will be able to find him.

They may have just kicked him out of the plane over the ocean like the CIA and the South American rebels used to do.
