Not exactly. The media coverage was already there, like they were in on the prank. So it’s more damage control than Streisand effect.
… And Justice For All has been in heavy rotation on the streaming services.
Watching it always gets a giant wtf when the judge refuses to do anything about the man put in prison for a burned out taillight and the tragedy gets worse and worse, it’s just a movie? Right?
Nope, it’s real life.
And from another source…
The Trump administration insisted Sunday that it has no legal obligation to arrange for the return of a Maryland man illegally deported from the United States, arguing that a Supreme Court ruling last week only requires officials to admit him into the country if he makes it back from a high-security prison in El Salvador.
Justice Department lawyers told a federal judge that they don’t interpret the Supreme Court’s Thursday ruling — that the administration “facilitate” Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release — as obligating the administration to do anything more than adjust his immigration status to admit him if El Salvador’s government chooses to release him.

We’re rapidly fulfilling Niemöllen’s prophecy, aren’t we.
Make no mistake: as Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson recently warned, if the administration can take noncitizens off the streets, render them to prison in another country, and then claim it is helpless to correct the error either because the person is out of reach of U.S. jurisdiction, it could do the same thing to citizens.
Trump has said he would “love” to do exactly that, and would even be “honored” to, and Bukele has been offering to hold U.S. citizens. Dasha Burns and Myah Ward of Politico reported Friday that former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince is pitching a plan to expand renditions to El Salvador to at least 100,000 criminal offenders from U.S. prisons and to avoid legal challenges by making part of CECOT American territory, then leasing it back to El Salvador to run.

Little to say, or nothing to say?
I’d guess the latter from Cheeto Narcissisto.
There’s a Nuremberg in Pennsylvania.
I am impressed by how he uses short, simple sentences, like the ones I used to use when I first started studying English. On the other hand, he writes incredibly sinuous, twisted sentences, with random words in the best Dadaist tradition.
I love this for them!
