Judge Questions Trump-Era DOJ on Abrego Garcia Deportation Case, Courtroom Reacts to Testimony
- Federal District Judge Paula Xinis questioned Trump-era DOJ officials about the 2019 detention and deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from New York City.
- The case arose because Abrego Garcia was accused of MS-13 gang membership, which the Trump administration classified as a foreign terrorist organization, though he denied involvement.
- Two judges found Abrego Garcia linked to MS-13 using confidential court information, while Trump officials repeatedly gave 'I don't knows' and appeared to stonewall lawyers.
- Trump administration lawyers labeled Abrego Garcia’s arrest an 'administrative error,' and the Supreme Court 7-2 ruling temporarily blocked the use of the Alien Enemies Act.
- It is unclear whether Abrego Garcia plans to come back to the U.S., though Trump’s legal team stated he would remain in custody indefinitely should he do so.
