1. Bets on this not happening Monday?

Bonus points for the excuses that might be given to the judge!

4. Oh! You meant THIS MONDAY?

8. Judge can lock folks up...chances are he will begin this on Monday starting with

the lawyers.

9. I hope and wish you are right but no judge has been willing

to take that next step. I’d like to think the first judge who does it will be followed by a wave but who knows if the appellate court would reverse it, saying the judge went too far.

No he didn’t!!!

16. Yep lol do you have any idea how bad you have to piss off a judge for them to give you one business day to do A Thing!?

As in, 'There's NOT court tomorrow, but I'm gonna come in here ON NOT COURT DAY to make sure you did what I told you.

2. Took them long enough!

5. No kidding. This is a damn shame.

All the way around.

3. Evey reporter's dream if he makes it back in one piece.

He'll have inside knowledge of what is going on.

Trump and minions will NOT want him talking.

10. Yes that would be quite a "get"

[Krazy_Kat]

6. Or what?

If he's not back on Monday, will Kristi Noem be locked up?

13. If that wish could come true,

she should be shipped back to El Salvador and put in gen pop with her new buddies she took those disgusting pictures with.

7. Bring him back or

who's going to jail ?

[Ms. Toad]

11. The court has done what it needed to do.

Now we'll see if El Salvador cooperates. (The order was to the US Government - it is up to the US Government to make it happen - since the court has no jurisdiction in El Salvador.)

12. I saw his lawyer the other night on MSNBC

He said, accurately I think, that El Salvador will basically do anything we tellask them to do. They took the prisoners so…..

I wonder if we and how much are paying them.

[Ms. Toad]

19. 6 million.

That number was made public when the immigrants were deported there.

Unless there is something in the contract (assuming there is one) that obligates them to return anyone we ask to have sent back, they are not under any legal obligation to do so. So there is no way to predict what they will do.

17. Then it won't happen since they don't want it to happen

Followed by ‘We tried our best judge, but they wouldn’t cooperate. It’s out of our hands.’ Then what?

[Ms. Toad]

18. They were ordered to accomplish it - not to try to accomplish it.

If it doesn't happen, they can be held in contempt.

[twodogsbarking]

14. Or else.
