The Coming Test of Sanity for the Administration


The writing is on the wall to cut losses in Abrego Garcia case

There is a latent fault line not far below the surface of the unanimous Supreme Court opinion in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the legal resident whom the Administration sent mistakenly and with no process at all—let alone due process—into a hellhole gulag from which no prisoner has ever emerged. That bizarre and unprecedented construction holds that some hundreds of miscellaneous gang members in the country constitute a “predatory incursion” by “a foreign country.” Abrego Garcia’s case—the most extreme example of a man whom the Administration admits it deported by mistake—brings that home in a concrete way. The Administration is always loath to lose, but if in the unlikely event there is a grown-up or two in the room when Stephen Miller and company argue for giving no quarter, it will recognize that the most politically prudent and, for what it’s worth, fundamentally just decision is to cut their losses and bring Abrego Garcia home.
