  • “How can I return him to the United States? Am I going to smuggle him? Of course I’m not going to do it,” Bukele said while sitting beside President Donald Trump. “The question is preposterous.”

    Ideally you would return him because the president of the United States asked you to, but I suppose Trump doesn’t think the Supreme Court’s ruling that the US government needs to “facilitate” Garcia’s return requires such an extraordinary level of effort.








  • The without prejudice part is in the article:

    The DOJ had asked Ho to toss the case “without prejudice,” which would have allowed charges to be refiled against the mayor in the future.

    As for why that could be bad:

    Ho, in his order on Wednesday, wrote that dismissing the case without prejudice “would create the unavoidable perception that the Mayor’s freedom depends on his ability to carry out the immigration enforcement priorities of the administration.

    The judge also said it would create the perception that Adams, who is seeking re-election this year, “might be more beholden to the demands of the federal government than to the wishes of his own constituents.”

    “That appearance is inevitable, and it counsels in favor of dismissal with prejudice,” Ho wrote.








  • According to this non-paywalled coverage, there are times when the filibuster doesn’t apply to repealing laws:

    The 1996 CRA gives Congress a 60-day window to repeal federal regulations with a simple majority vote in each chamber and the president’s signature. The clock resets in a new session of Congress for rules finalized toward the end of the previous congressional session.

    Republican lawmakers are also eyeing CRA measures to repeal the CFPB’s larger participant rule for digital payment companies and its ban on the use of medical debt in consumer credit reports.
