NEW: Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the court that any effort to provide due process to the 137 deported Venezuela men could damage nascent negotiations with Delcy Rodrigues â and invite anti-American subterfuge.

(31,691 posts)Trump says he is acting President of Venezuela!!!
Which is it? If he is President, then he snaps his fingers and they are on the next military transport home to USA
Or...
He really isn't President, so whatever he is telling the oil companies is a fairy tale.

(28,589 posts)"Yes, a judge absolutely can appoint someone, like private counsel or a special process server, to enforce a contempt order if regular law enforcement, such as sheriffs or marshals, are unwilling or unable to act, using mechanisms like Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 70 to have a court-appointed person perform the required act at the disobedient party's expense. This power ensures courts maintain authority, especially when dealing with government defiance or recalcitrant parties, allowing for appointment of private attorneys for criminal contempt or special individuals for civil enforcement.
