A federal judge has expressed significant concern over the Trump administration's failure to clarify efforts to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, despite a Supreme Court ruling mandating his return. During a court hearing, Judge Paula Xinis repeatedly questioned a Department of Justice lawyer, who admitted to having no personal knowledge of the situation, which the judge found "extremely troubling." The administration's defiant response to the court order has raised questions about its compliance with the Supreme Court's directive and highlighted broader issues of accountability in addressing deportation errors.
