Judge: "Govt is asserting right to stash away residents in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process"

NEW: Federal appeals court calls Trump administration's defiance in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case "shocking":

"The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process"

Judge Harvie Wilkinson, Reagan appointee, writes for a unanimous appeals panel that the Abrego Garcia case is “not hard at all.” These pages of the ruling address many of the public talking points.
