“A federal judge on Monday questioned whether government officials could be trusted to follow orders barring them from taking Kilmar Abrego Garcia into immigration custody or deporting him. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis noted that Abrego Garcia was already deported without legal authority once and said she was ‘growing beyond impatient’ with government misrepresentations in her court. ‘Why should I give the respondents the benefit of the doubt?’ she asked, referring to the government attorneys. Abrego Garcia’s mistaken [sic] deportation and imprisonment in El Salvador in March has galvanized both sides of the immigration debate. The Trump administration initially fought efforts to bring him back to the U.S. but eventually complied after the U.S. Supreme Court weighed in. He returned to the U.S. in June, only to face an arrest warrant on human smuggling charges in Tennessee.” (12/22/25)
