A federal judge has ordered the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S., ruling his deportation to El Salvador was illegal. Judge Paula Xinis criticized the Trump administration for inadequate answers regarding the case, highlighting the potential danger Garcia faces in El Salvador. The administration alleged Garcia was affiliated with the MS-13 gang, but his lawyers disputed this, arguing there is no substantive evidence to support such claims based solely on an informant's statement. The case raises serious questions about immigration enforcement practices under the Trump administration.
Judge Paula Xinis condemned the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia as illegal, highlighting the Trump administration's failure to provide basic answers regarding the case.
Despite evidence acknowledging the wrongful deportation, Trump officials insisted that Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, maintaining a defiant stance.
Abrego Garcia's lawyers contended that there is no evidence supporting the claim he was associated with MS-13, pointing to an unverified informant's testimony.
The judge emphasized the potential irreparable harm caused to Abrego Garcia if he remains in El Salvador, given the persecution he may face from local gangs.
