GREENBERT, Maryland — A federal judge in Maryland on Tuesday ordered the rebellious Trump administration to provide evidence on how he tried to secure the release of immigrants who were mistakenly deported to a brutal giant prison in El Salvador.

District Judge Paula Sinis laid out a two-week timeline to issue a sworn statement about whether and how the government is complying with immigration officers with previous court orders to return Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

“The discovery will confirm whether you have it,” Xinis said. “If not, whether it’s a choice or on the rightful ground.”

“Cancel your holidays, cancel other appointments. I’m usually very good at that in my court, but this time it’s not,” she said at a hearing in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Sinis, appointed by former President Barack Obama, ordered the administration to return Abrego Garcia to the United States by April 7th.

The federal court of appeals quickly upheld Xinis’ order. The Trump administration appealed to the US Supreme Court, The judge ruled 9-0 On Thursday, the administration must “promote” the return of Abrego Garcia – they have stopped requesting it, but they must provide legitimate procedures for El Salvador through a US immigration court.

The Supreme Court “will not have been clear,” Sinis told Drew Ensign, the assistant attorney general who represented the government on Tuesday.

Abrego Garcia, a native of El Salvador, lived with his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sula (a US citizen) and his five-year-old child, before being arrested by immigration officers in mid-March.

He is among about 260 Venezuelan men, and the US flew by commercial jets; No legitimate processto the Centro de de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, or cecot.

Garcia has no criminal history in the United States, El Salvador, or other countries. Litigation Vazquez Sula opposed the government last month.

The immigration judge issued a protection order in 2019 for his return to El Salvador.

The White House makes a bukére

On March 15, the US immigration and customs enforcement authorities confirmed that Garcia had “” removed Abrego.Management error. ”

The White House claims that El Salvador has no power to ask Abrego Garcia to be released from CECOT, and that Sinis has stomped her authority in ordering the administration to carry out diplomacy.

The White House also claims that Abrego Garcia is a “foreign terrorist” and a member of Salvadoran gangster MS-13, and that the administration designated a foreign terrorist organization in February.

“Deporting him will always be the final outcome,” White House press chief Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday at a Daily Press Briefing.

“There is never a world where this is an individual trying to live a peaceful life in Maryland,” she said.

President of El Salvador Naive Buquere I told a journalist On Monday, when he visited the oval office, he labeled Abrego Garcia as a “terrorist” saying, “I have no power to bring him back to the United States.”

The government reflected Bukere’s comments in its daily status report.

“DHS does not have the authority to forcefully extract foreigners from domestic custody of foreign sovereign states,” wrote Joseph Mazara, acting advisor to DHS, on Monday. Report.

Following a tense hearing on Friday, the government refused to provide Abrego Garcia with a place to stay. order Administrators who provide daily updates.

On Tuesday, Xinis told Ensign that the government provided the report “with little valueless information.”

“The practical issue is that I need evidence on this record, because it’s a date that nothing is done to the record showing,” Xinis said.

Judgment requested by light empty

Vazquez Sula before Tuesday’s hearing I asked The court will order immigration officers to arrange for their husbands to return by the end of April 14th.

She also asked the court to mandate documents and deposits relating to the release of Abrego Garcia, to show the cause why Xinis should not detain the government in court because of his failure to comply with the order to return Abrego Garcia.

Xinis said he would not make a decision on light emptying until he reviewed the evidence records.

The government does not mean that the Supreme Court decision must work with El Salvador to release Abrego Garcia, as the president, rather than the federal court.

The administration also argues that the Supreme Court’s use of the term “facilitating” not only means that the “internal” barriers need to be removed to return Abrego to the United States, but also means that he must work with El Salvador to ensure his release.

“Indeed, other readings of “promoting” are not here, or constitutional constitutional,” they responded to Vazquez Sula’s request.

At the oval office on Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondy said the US will provide planes but cannot force Buquere to release Abrego Garcia.

According to Xinis, Ensign provided the court with an oval office meeting transcript 15 minutes before Tuesday’s hearing.

“We haven’t yet considered what happened yesterday as evidence before this court,” Xinis said.

The minor sign pushed back Xinis’ order for quick discovery, saying it was a “narrow interpretive dispute” which means that it was a “narrow interpretive dispute” that promotes what the problem promotes.

After pushing back again, Xinis replied, “I just don’t think it’s that difficult. I want to make it difficult because it might not be that good to reach the facts.”

It was seized while searching for work

According to court records, Abrego Garcia came to the United States in 2011 without legal approval and fled the violence in his native El Salvador.

Six years later, he was taken into custody at Prince George’s County Police Department while searching for work at Home Depot in Hyattville, Maryland.

While there he was questioned about his gang affiliation, and law enforcement did not believe he was not a member of the MS-13 gang, according to court records.

The evidence officers submitted included Abrego Garcia, wearing a Chicago bull hat, hoodie and a statement from a confidential informant, who said he was a member of MS-13, according to court documents.

He was never accused of gangs or convicted of his existence, but he was kept in ice custody while he proceeded with the lawsuit before an immigration judge.
