On Friday, April 11, the Ministry of Justice told the federal judge that he could not adhere to her order to provide details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man of Maryland, who accidentally deported himself with Salvador and described the date of the court as “impracticable”.
US district judge Paul Xinis ordered the government to reveal the physical location of Abrego Garcia, status and steps to return to the US on Friday morning. However, the Ministry of Justice was looking for more time and claimed that it was not possible to share this information.
“Where is he?” Judge’s requirements
At the hearing on Friday afternoon, Judge Xinis repeatedly pressed a lawyer who gave the flag for the answers.
“I don’t ask for a state secret. I ask very simple questions: Where is it?” Xinis said strictly.
Ensign said he had not received relevant data and that the administration was still evaluated by the Supreme Court’s Supreme Court, which requires the government to “facilitate” the release of Abrego Garcia.
“Your clients did nothing to make their return easier,” Xinis Ensign said.
“I’m not sure what to take from the fact that the Supreme Court spoke quite clearly, and yet I can’t answer what you did if anything at all.”
Dojsted that foreign matters are limiting immediate conduct
In a court that he submitted before hearing, lawyers have said that they cannot observe the order in time, and to quote the sensitive nature of foreign relations: “Foreign affairs cannot function in the court time, partly because it involves sensitive reflections on the country completely inappropriate for judicial review.”
They added that “it is disproportionate and impracticable” to provide steps before they are proven, and stated that the court directive lacked clarity – a point that the Supreme Court also recorded.
The judge plans daily updates
Xinis, who does not apply to arguments, said he was planning to request daily updates from the Ministry of Justice.
“You are an officer of the court. You are an instrument that represents the government,” the banner reminded.
The judge described the lack of information as “extremely worrying”.
Family, lawyers left in the dark
Attorney Abrego Garcia Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said that since he was deported last month, he had no contact with him his client and the legal team.
“They did not observe clearly,” Sandoval-Moshenberg said about the government.
“They play games with their own lawyers.”
Held in a notorious Salvador prison
Abrego Garcia, 29, was limited to Salvador’s Cecot Mega-imprisonment after being deported under the MS-13 accusations, claiming that his lawyers deny. In the US or Salvador, he has never been charged or convicted of any crime.
Forensic submissions revealed that in 2019 the US immigration judge granted him protection against deportation because he was more likely to return.
Its removal into Salvador later accepted the Trump administration for the “administrative mistake”.
We pay Salvador for detaining deporters
The US government pays $ 6 million to the Salvador government in an agreement mediated with President Nayib Bukele to detain the American deported. The Ministry of Justice says that Abrabo Garcia remains in custody in Salvador’s custody and cannot be returned until Salvador coincides to release him.

The Supreme Court enters into
Last week, Xinis ordered the return of Abrego Garcia no later than 23:59 on Monday. This order was briefly suspended by the chief judge John Roberts. On Thursday, however, the entire Supreme Court adjacent to Xinis and said that the government must “ensure that his case will be solved, because he would be if he was not incorrectly sent to Salvador.”
However, the High Court also asked the Lower Court to clarify how the return should be “realized”, and at the same time recognizes the executive power of foreign affairs.
