Judge Frustrated by Trump Administration's Stonewalling in Deportation Case | JQJO

A federal judge expressed frustration with the Trump administration's efforts to block the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. Judge Paula Xinis deemed the State Department's claim of state secrets insufficient, demanding more transparency. She unsealed Secretary Rubio's declaration, ordered an update with justifications, and allowed Abrego Garcia's lawyers to depose additional officials. The judge rejected the government's assertion of compliance, stating she would not grant further delays.
