A federal judge accused the Trump administration on Friday not to do enough, or anything, to organize the return of Kilmar Abrego García of a notorious prison in El Salvador.
The tense hearing of the Maryland District Court followed a unanimous ruling of the Supreme Court during the day of the order of Judge Paula Xinis that the “facilitation” of the Trump administration, the unfair of Maryland’s man, Maryland’s man to the United States.
“Where is [Abrego Garcia] And under whose authority? “Xinis asked a lawyer from the Department of Justice Duration of the Hearing.
“I am not asking for state secrets,” Xinis told the attached attorney general Drew Ensign. “All I know is that he is not here. He was forbidden to send him to El Salvador, and now I am asking a very simple question: where is he hears?”
Ensign indicated that the Belieggo García Government remains in the Center for Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT), where he has been a hero since March 15, but could not provide details about the steps that the Trump administration hastened or plans to take. Plans to take.
“That is extremely worrying,” Xinis said.
“Have you done something?” The judge asked Ensign, who indicated that it was not a flavor to any action.
“That means they have done nothing,” Xinis said. “Despite the clear directive of this court, its clients have done nothing to facilitate the return of Mr. Abrego García.”
The Supreme Court agreed with Xinis that the deportation of Abrego García was “illegal” because he was “subject to a retention order that prohibits his removal from El Salvador.”
However, the Superior Court did not impose a deadline for Abrego García to be returned to the United States and returned the case to the District Court so that Xinis clarifies the Sharnment should “effective” the return of the Salvadoran national.
Ensign emphasized that the Trump administration was “actively considering what could be done,” noting that three cabinet agencies are involved and significant coordination is required.
“I guess my message, for what is worth, it is: if you can do it, do it tomorrow,” Xinis said near the end of the audience before ordering the administration to provide daily updates.
Before the afternoon audience, the Trump administration was adjusted at 9:30 am and 11:30 am deadlines established by Xinis to provide information about the state of Abrego García.
“The defendant cannot provide the information requested by the Court on the impracticable deadline established by the Court hours after the Supreme Court issued its order,” the Doj lawyers wrote to the judge.
The presentation indicated that Xinis “has not yet clarified what they put to the” facilitation “or” effects “the performance as it is about this case, since the plaintiff is under the custody of a foreign soeign.”
“It is unthinkable and impracticable that the defendants reveal potential steps before they review, agree and examine the steps,” the government argued. “Foreign issues cannot operate in judicial deadlines, partly because it involves specific sensitive considerations of the country totally inappropriate for judicial review.”
The Trump administration has admitted that Abrego García’s removal to El Salvador after his March 12 trial was the result of an “administrative error”, but Mintains that is a “member of a foreign terrorist organization.”
Administration officials claim that Abrego García was “confirmed as a classification member of the MS-13 gang by a proven and reliable source.” They also claimed that he entered the country illegally in 2011.
Abrego García’s family and lawyers say that man has no gang ties and states that 2006, gang members have threatened to kidnap and kill him to extort his parents’ money in Central America.
The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, is expected to meet President Trump in Washington on Monday, and it is likely that the case of Abrego García is a topic for the discussion.
