DOJ [probably] presented some bogus logistical reason they can’t comply in time, asked for an extension.
Judiciary either has to call their bluff and potentially trigger a stand-off that could overturn Marbury v Madison, or just grant the extra day or two and keep waiting for the appropriate hill to die on.
No good option, really, so I understand taking the more patient route. Buuuuut at some point, the patient route undoes the judiciary’s power too.
Nope, their argument has been that they can’t comply ever because once El Salvadoran prison guards have custody over the deported individual they don’t have any authority to tell those guards to give them back. They’re not asking for an extra day or two, they’re asking for us just to forget about this.

Oh damn, I thought this was the same story as earlier when the details weren’t known yet.
Holy shit, that’s unbelievable. So they found the carceral equivalent of “it can’t be undone cuz it’s on the blockchain”.
How about ruling that deporting ANYONE to a foreign prison especially without due process is illegal?
Kinda sounds like “cruel and unusual punishment” to me.
And denial of due process.
We could get the Tates out of a Romanian jail but not a guy we sent to jail.
