WASHINGTON - TelAve -- Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin complained bitterly on Saturday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is making TikTok videos which embarrass the agency while it cannot respond because of an order from an "activist judge."

She argued that "so we, at [DHS], are under gag order by an activist judge and Kilmar Abrego Garcia is making TikToks . . .  American justice ceases to function when its arbiters silence law enforcement and give megaphones to those who oppose our legal system."

But the many problems - and adverse publicity for the Trump administration - raised by his case, could have easily been avoided, notes public interest law professor John Banzhaf.

Just how the government repeatedly blundered, and what it should have done months ago, is outlined in Banzhaf's legal analysis below.
