‘Beyond contemptuous’: DOJ slammed for ‘sheer indignation’ in defying judge

The U.S. Department of Justice is telling a federal judge it cannot comply with her orders—even after the U.S. Supreme Court directed the DOJ to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legal U.S. resident wrongly deported by President Donald Trump’s ICE to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador built to hold accused terrorists.

In a heated hearing, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered the Department of Justice to not “slow walk” her orders designed to attain Abrego Garcia’s release and return to the United States.
