U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis is considering contempt proceedings against the Trump administration regarding the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. The judge ordered administration officials to provide evidence of their efforts to bring Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. since her initial order. The government has not shown sufficient evidence, leading to the possibility of contempt charges.
Abrego Garcia, who was sent to a prison in El Salvador despite a prior immigration judge’s order, has been the center of a legal battle. The administration claims he is a member of the MS-13 gang and engaged in illegal activities, justifying his deportation. However, Abrego Garcia’s lawyers dispute these allegations, arguing that he is not a gang member and has no criminal record.
During a meeting between President Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, Bukele stated that he would not send Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. This raised concerns about the U.S. government’s efforts to comply with the court’s orders. The judge noted that officials did not request Abrego Garcia’s return during the meeting, casting doubt on their commitment to bringing him back.
Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, expressed her support for her husband and urged him to remain strong. The case highlights the complex legal and political issues surrounding immigration and deportation policies in the U.S.
