Judge Criticizes Trump Officials Over Wrongful Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis has expressed frustration with the Trump administration's inaction regarding the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man wrongly deported to El Salvador. Despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering his return, Judge Xinis stated, 'nothing has been done' by the government to facilitate this process. The administration has argued it is not required to take further action beyond removing domestic obstacles, despite acknowledging that Abrego Garcia's deportation was an administrative error. Xinis has demanded that government officials provide detailed accounts of their efforts under oath in the coming weeks. Additionally, she criticized a recent meeting between President Trump and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, where they dismissed the idea of Abrego Garcia's return. The judge's strong stance signals a determination to hold the administration accountable for following court orders.
