A federal judge on April 6 denied the Trump administration’s motion to stay her April 4 order directing the return of an illegal immigrant who was deported to a prison in El Salvador. The White House had described the deportation of Kilmar Abrego-Garcia to that country as an “administrative error.”
In an April 6 filing, District Judge Paula Xinis said her previous ruling “remains in full force and effect” and shot down the government’s arguments claiming that it lacked the ability to broker the return of Abrego-Garcia because he is no longer in U.S. custody.
