- A federal judge found the Justice Department’s attempts to dismiss Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawsuit regarding his mistaken deportation to be without merit.
- The court criticized the government for returning Abrego Garcia without notifying the judge or his attorneys, followed by an immediate indictment on human trafficking charges.
- The Justice Department failed to demonstrate that the lawsuit was moot, given the risk of Abrego Garcia facing deportation again without due process safeguards.
- Additional testimony was ordered to clarify the government’s plans for Abrego Garcia’s removal if released from detention during his ongoing criminal proceedings.
It's like trying to nail Jello to a wall trying to find out what is going to happen next week [if he is released from detention].— U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis expressed concern about the uncertainty surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's potential removal while contemplating the legal proceedings.
