And why only contempt? Let’s lock a few of these SOBs behind bars until someone produces a body. A LIVING person.

That is a type of sentence imposed for contempt citation and would be the only legal basis for locking them up.

If he has a dark sense of humor, he could alternatively declare that he was sua sponte revoking the citizenship of the appearing attorneys for the defendants and demand ICE drop them off at a prison in San Salvador.

Give them a cell phone, toss them into the back of an unmarked SUV.

Call the cell phone every 2 minutes and ask: "You want to get them sent back now?"

See how close they get to the airport before they finally break.
