In breaking news, we've got developments in the Abrego Garcia matter. As expected, a new emergency complaint petition writ of habeas corpus has been filed in front of Judge Zinnis because the Trump administration is violating Brago Garcia's civil rights, his rights to due process once again. Because they are in a vindictive way in, in a malicious way. They're trying to punish him for refusing to plead guilty to crimes that he says he did not commit in order to get some sort of sweetheart deal to be deported and removed. Costa Rica. And when he said no, he wants his day in court to prove that he didn't commit these crimes and to expose the Trump administration effectively. They said, fine, you're going to Uganda. You could just tell that's a Stephen Miller special. You're going to Uganda. If you're not going to play ball with us, we have a word for that. It's called extortion. It's called prosecutorial misconduct and abuse. And federal judges don't take kindly to it. We got the brand new lawsuit that's been filed here breaking Monday morning, 9:38 and how we got here, including the fact the Trump administration has violated at least two different orders of federal judges. At this, at this early morning hour, I am sure Judge Zinnis is going to call everybody together this afternoon and I'll be doing another hot take on the emergency hearing and why the entire weight of the federal government, Department of Justice, ICE and Homeland Security and that and Donald Trump is being brought to bear to try to crush into oblivion a guy named Abrego Garcia is beyond me other than the fact that we are all Abrego Garcia because he's just a proxy for us and the rest. I'm Michael Popo. We're here Together on Legal AF YouTube on Monday morning with with his breaking update about the Abrego Garcia case. Take a moment and hit that subscribe button as well. He was released on Friday because a magistrate, federal magistrate judge in Tennessee, Judge Holmes, ruled that he could not be detained pretrial any longer. She questioned his indictment. She questioned the evidence that supported that indictment, such as it was, including three different convicted felons or people staring at at their own deportation, testifying against him in, in return for freedom. And she released him now and she had an order that was that ran parallel to Judge Zinnis's order because she's the judge in Maryland upheld by the United States Supreme Court that is presiding over his civil liberties abuse case. Judge Holmes said he's to be released from the federal detention related to his immigrant, related to his criminal indictment, the one that Trump administration Department of justice created in April, April and May about him being a human, human smuggler or trafficker smuggler. And she released him from that detention with an order that said he had until Monday today at 10am to report by phone into ICE Baltimore off field office. That never happened. He got picked up or told to turn himself in and, and when he turned himself in or got picked up by ice, it's still developing story the ICE people would not tell his lawyer in violation of Judge Holmes's order what detention center he was being brought to or what the nature of that, the reason for the detention, that detention violates Judge Zinnis his order because she ordered two weeks ago that he is when he's released from Tennessee, he is to go straight to Maryland and be given the same conditions of release that he's had for years to be restored to that, that place as if he had not been removed and sent to El Salvador, starting his Kafka esque horror story that we've been all watching very, very intently to keep focus on, on what's happening there. That didn't happen. So two different orders were violated. He got picked up, wasn't allowed to telephone in to report, and he and. And his lawyers were not told where he was because Judge Holmes made it clear he needed access Abrego Garcia to his lawyers by phone or in person to prepare his defense for Tennessee. That didn't happen. And Judge Zinnis said he's not supposed to be picked up at all. So I've got a clip now of the lawyer I know, one of two lawyers that I know, Simone Simon Sandoval, Moshen Burke, who's doing this case for free, along with his lawyer Shawn Hecker, who's a friend of mine. On behalf of the Brego Garcia family, here's a press conference that just happened this morning.

His arm to be twisted to take a guilty plea if he doesn't want to. His constitutional right to exercise his right to a jury trial on his criminal proceedings if he so chooses, and his constitutional right and his right under the Bail Reform act to leave the prison and come home to his family. He's being punished for exercising those rights. We asked the ICE officer what the reason for his detention was. The ICE officer didn't answer. The ICE officer stated that he'll be taken to a detention center. We asked the ICE officer which detention center. The ICE officer said that they weren't able to say. We asked the ICE officer for a copy of any paperwork that's being served on him today. The ICE officer wouldn't commit to even giving us that paperwork.

Yeah, this is the problem. So the emergency complaint or emergency motion, which I'm going to tell you what I'm reasonably confident having done this for a while is going to represent. Now the reason I don't have it and I've been looking for it is I know it's on the docket because I'm looking at the electronic docket that says it's been updated at 9:33 and 9:57. But every time I go in there, maybe because so many different people are trying to get their hands on this new petition, it's not updating, but I will as this, you know, you can tell we're doing sort of a live hot take here. As this hot take continues, we're going to I'm going to get more information and when I get the complaint at the time that the hearing happens, because there's going to be a hearing, I am sure that Judge Zinnis is none too pleased that her orders have been violated once again. She's already been affirmed with her original order to get him out of El Salvador and back to her, which was violated, affirmed twice by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and once by the United States Supreme Court. 9 0. This MAGA leaning Supreme Court, you can't get them to agree to anything, let alone 9 0. So she's not going to be pleased that her order has been violated, that he's been jerked around, he's a pawn. And the action of saying effectively the government Saying F you, you're going to Uganda now because you're not going to take work. We're extorting you and you're not agreeing to be extorted to take the. Plead guilty to crimes you say you didn't commit and we'll send you to Costa Rica if you're a good boy. And his lawyer said no. He wants his day in court to prove he didn't do the case. And we got a motion pending to dismiss the indictment for vindictive prosecution and abusive and prosecutorial misconduct, which is likely to be granted. So why would we, you know, we're trying to, they're trying to bury their, their scandal by having him plead guilty to the indictment. He said no. They said Uganda. All right. That act of continued prosecutorial misconduct. Well, is evidence for two different motions. One before Judge Crenshaw in Tennessee to dismiss outright the indictment before for prosecutorial misconduct and vindictive prosecution. And they got the goods. They got the evidence. We're watching it. Including what just happened today. This package of evidence is also supporting the new petition. The new emergency application before Judge Zinn is the same judge to get him to a. I don't know if it's going to get him out, but it's going to. The goal is to not have him go to Uganda. You know, um, he can go to other countries, but not Uganda. And now because the Trump administration has overplayed their hand and abused this person mercilessly, it's up to a federal judge to step in. I think that the complaint, the new petition is going to be a petition for writ of habeas corpus to bring the body literally out of detention before her. It's going to be an emergency application for constitutional violations, violations of the Immigration Naturalization act, violations of a bunch of other laws, and an injunction to have him stay in Maryland under her until full briefing on these issues and not be sent tonight or today on a 72 hour notice to Uganda. She had ordered Judge Zinnis that, that the defense counsel be given 72 hours. But we're coming up on the 72 hours here. You know, we don't want wheels up Uganda, look how hard it was to get him out of El Salvador. So she's going to have to call this hearing together very, very quickly. I don't know if it's noon or 2 o' clock Eastern Time, but it's happening today. And I'll report on it right here on Legal AF and on the Midas Touch Network and on Legal AF substack where I'm doing live reporting and updating on this case in real time as it happens.
