A federal judge is not backing down from her order to have a Maryland man returned from El Salvador. U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis [[ ZEN-iss ]] has denied a Justice Department request for a stay on her order to have Kilmar Abrego Garcia returned to the U.S. Yesterday’s 22-page ruling called the detention and deportation of Abrego Garcia “wholly lawless.” It blasted the administration for what was called a “stunning proposition” that it could forcibly remove someone from the country and then have no way to bring them back. The Department of Justice is expected to seek a Court of Appeals ruling to block the order.
