Illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s attorneys filed a motion in court Wednesday, arguing that the Trump administration’s lawyers should be held in contempt of court for violating court orders.
After the Trump administration deported Abrego Garcia to an El Salvadorian prison in March, U.S. District Court Judge Paula Xinis ruled that the administration must return him to the states on the grounds that he’d been mistakenly deported.
Days later on April 10, the Supreme Court effectively upheld Xinis’ ruling, prompting the district court judge to double down.
The Trump administration subsequently fought back by repeatedly arguing that it no longer had jurisdiction over Abrego Garcia, as he was in El Salvador.
But then in early June, the administration suddenly found a way to return the “Maryland dad” to the states to face criminal charges.
This — his sudden return– was what triggered the June 11 complaint.
