That would be contrasted with the case before Judge Xinis regarding Abrego-Garcia where the potential contempt is an ongoing refusal to follow her order to facilitate his return to the US. That would be a civil contempt where the contempt could be cured by following the order, right?

That's certainly a possibility, yes. I hedge only because I don't litigate much, so I really don't know the ins and outs of the federal judiciary's contempt powers (and hopefully wouldn't have occasion to know that even if I did litigate). So I don't know if there's a statute or federal rule of civil procedure that specifies the types of things that are proper subjects for civil contempt sanctions, or whether it's wholly within the power of the court to decide. I would assume that willful refusal to comply with a court order would be a proper subject of contempt proceedings, but you never know if there's some rule or regulation that says that it's available only for certain matters.
