In the legal case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a federal judge in Maryland has denied the government's secret request to further delay proceedings, following a previous weeklong postponement. The case involves efforts to return Abrego Garcia to the United States after his erroneous deportation to El Salvador, despite an immigration judge's order preventing his removal. President Trump has suggested he could resolve the issue with a phone call to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, but this contrasts with the administration's legal position that it lacks the authority to bring him back, amid allegations of Abrego Garcia's gang affiliation, which his legal team denies.
