          "alt": "Alright, says Boasberg, so what we have to do is figure out constructive custody. In looking at constructive custody, why don't we start with you saying that there's no reason to believe that the U.S. could obtain the release of any petitioner merely by asking. But didn't the president say just last week that he could secure the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia simply by picking up the phone and asking the president of El Salvador to release him? Is the president not telling the truth? Or could he secure the release of Abrego Garcia?\nYour Honor, says Kambli, this just gets into what I wanted to talk about, which is two different concepts: Influence does not equate to constructive custody.\nWhy don't we start with my question, says Boasberg. Was the president telling the truth when he said he could pick up the phone and have Mr. Abrego Garcia released, or not?\nThat goes towards the president's belief about the influence that he has, Kambli responds. The question for constructive custody rests on whether the decision ultimately lies with El Salvador or the United States. The fact that El Salvador gets a say negates the constructive custody.",
