Now that a federal district court judge has finally done it—issued criminal contempt against a Trump-aligned ally, and threatened $2,000 a day plus jail time unless she complies—we’re seeing what accountability actually looks like.
And this isn’t a one-off.
District Judges Paula Xinis (MD), Jim Boasberg(DC) and Stephanie Gallagher (MA) have been tiptoeing around launching criminal contempt proceedings months.
Each of them has threatened Trump-era lawyers for one reason: refusing to reveal their secret mission to deport people in silence, without a trace—to places like CECOT in El Salvador.
They’ve been hiding that mission.
And they will continue hiding it unless and until they are punished for it.
Because here’s what we know:
They already brought Gilmar back.
They already reversed one deportation from Mexico.
They have the power.
They’ve just been refusing to use it.
But here’s the bombshell:
The United Nations pressured El Salvador to tell the truth—and El Salvador came clean.
They said:
This wasn’t us. This wasn’t our diplomatic protocol. This wasn’t our policy. This was the U.S. government.
The Trump administration acted alone.
There’s no “diplomatic immunity.” There’s no shield.
They’ve been hiding behind a lie.
So let’s be clear:
The UN got El Salvador to admit what the U.S. still won’t:
This was 100% a Trump operation.
Now that a judge has broken the seal and held someone in criminal contempt, the path is clear.
📌 The lawyers knew.
📌 The government knew.
📌 And they were only going to reveal it once they were threatened with jail.
That’s where we are now.
Contempt isn’t extreme—it’s necessary.
And now that we’ve seen one judge go there, others can and must follow.
This is how we break the cover-up.
This is how we bring them home.
And this is how we expose what the Trump administration did under the cover of silence.
