The circuit court then ordered the DOJ to submit a plan to grant due process to the prisoners. DOJ is dressing up their answer in legalese, but their answer is "no".
Which complies with the order. The judge didn't order the government to do any specific thing. He ordered them to come back with what they proposed to do. The answer very well can be "nothing" - that the bell is already rung, the glass is already broken, there's nothing to be done. In which case the judge can issue an injunction ordering them to do one or several specific things that the judge has decided are constitutionally required. And the government is signaling that since, at this point, everything that might plausibly be done now has implications for their foreign policy in Venezuela that all of those options are off the table for the court to order.
You'll notice, however, that the government hasn't been sending any more detainees to CECOT this way. They're complying with the Court's determination that they couldn't do this specific thing - the dispute is about remedial measures for the folks they already did it to.
Now, circle back to Trump seizure of ballots and voting machines. Slow walk the investigations, while preventing the Dems who won in those districts taking their seats in Congress. Every suit filed gets the Trump treatment: hung up in litigation, for years.
Again, that's extremely unlikely. Election challenges don't work on normal court time. They're always heavily expedited. Unlike normal litigation, the courts don't let litigants slow walk election challenges. So that's very unlikely to work.
