Judge Issues Urgent Warning to Trump Officials Over Deportation Case
A federal judge has mandated the Trump administration to take immediate action regarding the wrongful deportation of a Maryland man.
In a case ensnared in controversy, a federal judge has criticized Trump administration officials for their lack of action concerning the deportation of Salvadoran national Kilmar Ábrego García, who was mistakenly sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Judge Paula Xinis of Greenbelt, Maryland, has ordered officials to present evidence within two weeks to demonstrate the steps taken to return Ábrego García to the U.S. The judge openly expressed her frustration, stating, "Nothing has been done," and warned that failure to act may lead to a contempt of court ruling. The Supreme Court has instructed the administration to facilitate Ábrego García's return; however, the government's stance remains unclear, with officials indicating that he would face detention if he attempts to return to the U.S. Meanwhile, sparks of political tension flare as the wife of the deported man pleads for action, and Maryland's Senator Chris Van Hollen plans to visit El Salvador in hopes of ensuring her husband's safety.
