The Trump administration’s refusal to follow a court order and make any efforts to return the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador sent CNN legal analyst Elie Honig into a fiery rebuke of the MAGAfied government.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, or FIRE, is out with a brief in President Donald Trump's lawsuit against Iowa-based pollster Ann Selzer, urging the court to dismiss the case as an attack on constitutional rights.

CNN conservative Scott Jennings led a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s refusal to make any efforts to return the Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador– before bashing a Democratic effort to retrieve Kilmar Abrego Garcia themselves.
