No evidence Trump has tried to return wrongly deported man, judge says

A federal judge, Paula Xinis, found that the Trump administration has not demonstrated compliance with her order to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia‘s return from El Salvador’s CECOT prison. Xinis expressed frustration over the administration’s lack of action, stating that Garcia’s daily detention causes “irreparable harm.”

During a hearing, the judge mentioned the need for expedited discovery, which may include depositions of administration officials.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele stated he would not release Abrego Garcia, and President Donald Trump made no attempts to seek cooperation.
