'Trump will absolutely lose': Legal expert unloads over latest 'constitutional mockery'

A Maryland immigrant appeared again this week as Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempted to deport him to a third-party country. That ultimately turned into a stunning rebuke of the Justice Department by a conservative judge.

Kilmar Ábrego García has faced off against the U.S. government since March, when he was mistakenly sent to a brutal prison in El Salvador.

"Obviously, the court is going to look at the issues...I'm having a hard time understanding your argument that there is by clear and convincing evidence no conditions that could control the danger posed by the defendant...that's a pretty high standard," said Crenshaw, according to Lawfare's Anna Bower, reporting from the Nashville, Tennessee, courthouse.
