Federal Judge Paula Xinis issued a scathing rebuke to the Trump administration for failing to comply with her instructions regarding the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. In an eight-page order, Judge Xinis accused the Justice Department of willful and bad faith refusal to answer questions about Mr. Abrego Garcia’s deportation.
The judge criticized the government’s attempts to evade providing information by claiming privilege, describing their actions as obstructionist. Mr. Abrego Garcia’s lawyers accused the government of producing nothing substantial in response to their inquiries about the White House’s efforts to secure his release from Salvadoran custody.
Judge Xinis ordered the Justice Department to provide the requested details by 6 p.m. Wednesday or risk losing its privilege claims. The case has highlighted the administration’s pattern of stonewalling and legal maneuvers to avoid accountability in cases of wrongful deportation.
The judge’s strong response indicated her frustration with the government’s lack of cooperation and transparency. The Justice Department’s actions have raised concerns about its commitment to ensuring justice and accountability in cases of wrongful deportation, raising questions about the administration’s adherence to legal and ethical standards.
