They already admitted in black and white in court to judge Xinus they were wrong. They're refusing to fix it. Why admit you're wrong but refuse to take a simple action to fix it unless it can't be fixed? Literally all they have to do is bring him back and refulfill the deportation by dropping him in some barren desert in Somalia, anywhere but taking him to the one place they couldn't.
And that's why they fired that attorney. Good authoritarian leaders don't admit when they are wrong.
Maybe they want this fight. They want it to go to the Supreme Court. A favorable ruling will unlock alot of doors.
And ignoring an unfavorable one with no consequences will open even more doors.
