@kaitlancollins thought she might get somewhere with her "slanted" question. Like usual, she failed miserably. Very on brand for her and @CNN.

Responding at the request of @POTUS:

@AGPamBondi: He was illegally in our country and two courts in 2019 deemed Abrego Garcia to be a member of MS-13...a foreign terrorist organization. Only El Salvador to determine if they return him. The foreign affairs of the United States are conducted by the Executive Branch under the powers of Article II, not by a District Court Judge in Maryland. If @nayibbukele wants to send him back, we will come pick him up and deport him again.

So strong, General Bondi!

Did President Trump's Administration defy a judge's order to keep Venezuelans in the U.S.?

Did Judge #Boasberg have the authority to issue such an order?

Same answer to both questions.

I'm old enough to remember @kaitlancollins and others scoffing at the thought of the immunity case having any impact on the case brought by @ManhattanDA or @FaniforDA.

Well...even Judge Merchan recognizes that the #SCOTUS opinion may have fatal consequences to the case.

1/ Evidence in the Manhattan case included tweets by Trump and conversations between Trump and White House staff. SCOTUS clearly laid out certain functions of the Executive that carry with them absolute or presumptive immunity. Tweets and comms with staff are two. p.29
