Greenbelt, MD – the federal judge said on Tuesday that she ordered the testimony of oath by Trump administration officials to determine whether they warned her orders to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abry Garcia, who was incorrectly deported to a well -known prison in Salvador in Salvador.
US District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland issued her order after Trump officials constantly refused to recover Abrego Garcia. She said they were opposing the “clear” Supreme Court order.
She also left the Monday comments of the Officials of the White House and President Salvador that they were unable to restore Abry Garcia, describing their statements as “two very erroneous ships passing at night.”
“The Supreme Court spoke,” said Xinis, adding that what was said in an oval office on Monday “is not in court.”
In its written order published on Tuesday evening, Xinis called for the testimony of four Trump administration officials who work for immigration and customs in the US, the Internal Security Department and the Department of State.
He expects the process to last about two weeks. Xinis wrote that Trump’s administration officials “did nothing” towards Abry Garci’s return. But, she wrote, “at least they remain obliged to take available steps to help, help or make the release of Abry Garcia.”
Hearing He came a day later The White House advisers repeated the claim that they did not have the right to restore Salvadoran from his hometown. The president of Salvador also said on Monday that he would not return Abry Garcia, comparing him to the smuggling of “a terrorist to the United States.”
Abry Garcia’s deportation became an inflammatory point when President Donald Trump continues the promises of mass deportation campaigns, including Prison in El Salvador. After Tuesday’s hearing, the crowd before the Federal Court in Maryland chanted: “What do we want? The right trial. When we want it? Now?”
Abrego Garcia’s lawyer said that the contempt may be a logical next step after the facts. “It’s still a win, and it’s still progress,” said Rina Ghandi. “But we haven’t finished yet.”
The wife of Abry Garcia, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, said shortly before Tuesday’s interrogation that she was working strenuous to achieve American sleep for her family.
“This dream was broken on March 12, when it was abducted and disappeared by the United States government before our 5-year-old child,” she said. “Today is 34 days after his disappearance … I will not stop fighting until I see my husband.”
Meanwhile, the US Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland said that on Wednesday he would go to Salvador.
“I hope to visit Kilmar and check his well -being and conduct constructive conversations with state officials during his dismissal,” said Van Hollen.
Abrego Garcia, 29, He lived in the USA For about 14 years, during which he worked at the construction site, he married and raised three disabled children, in accordance with court files.
The US immigration judge shielded Abry Garci from deportation to El Salvador in 2019, ruling that he would probably be persecuted by local gangs that terrorized his family. According to Abrego Garcia’s lawyers, he also received a federal work permit in the United States, where he was a metal employee and a member of the Union.
But Trump’s administration released Abry Garcia to El Salvador last month. Administration officials later described the mistake As a “administrative error”, but he insisted that Abrego Garcia be a member of the MS-13 gang.
Abrego Garcia was never accused of crime and denied the allegations. His lawyers pointed out that a criminal guide claimed that he was a member of MS-13 in Long Island, New York, where he never lived.
Xinis ordered the Trump administration At the beginning of April To restore Abry Garcia. And the Supreme Court of the United States agreed last week that the US government must “facilitate” the release of Abry Garcia.
But the White House was growing an intermediary at his return, arguing that the courts could not interfere in the authorities of the president’s diplomacy.
Xinis ordered the USA on Friday in daily updates of the status of plans to return Abry Garcia. Trump’s administration answered the next day, saying that he lived in prison in Salvador. But he doubled only from the decision not to tell the federal court if he had any plans for repatriation of Abry Garcia.
In the application on Tuesday afternoon, Trump’s administration said that the government was prepared to facilitate its return. They said, however, that his protection against deporting to El Salvador would be removed and that it could be deported back to El Salvador or to a third country, they said.
In a court submitted on Tuesday, abrego Garcia’s lawyers rejected the idea that the US did not have the right to regain it. They noticed that the United States pay salvador for holding prisoners, including Abry Garcia, and “they can take advantage of the same contractual rights to demand their dismissal.”
Bukele concluded a contract under which The US will pay about $ 6 million for the El Salvador to imprison Venezuelan immigrants for a year. Trump said openly that he would also favor Salvador, taking care of American citizens who committed crimes using violence, which is probably illegal.
