DOJ “Contrivance” to Keep other Abrego Garcia in CECOT Prison

The case is J.O.P. v. DHS, and the plaintiff, who goes under the pseudonym “Cristian,” is currently in El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison. A judge ordered the government to facilitate the release of “cristian” from El Salvador. On Monday, the Fourth Circuit upheld the decision, denying the government’s requested suspension of the district court order while the case is on appeal. It is worth noting that Lozano-Camargo has an especially strong legal case as a Venezuelan national, Nayib Bukele says. The case is very similar to Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s, and in some respects, even worse with respect to the U.S. government’s alleged violation of the law, Bukely says. He says the government has failed to respond to the plaintiff’s allegation that the administration engaged in a “contrivance” to keep Cristian.
