Trump’s Justice Department trolled Judge Paula Xinis it its latest court filing in the case of deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Judge Xinis, an Obama appointee, slammed the Trump Administration during last Friday’s hearing and demanded ‘daily updates’ on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts.
The judge said the Trump Admin has made “no meaningful effort to comply” with her order demanding the physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia.
“Defendants made no meaningful effort to comply. Instead, they complained that the Order is “unreasonable and impracticable,” and involves “sensitive country-specific considerations wholly inappropriate for judicial review.”” – the judge wrote.
“From this court’s perspective, defendants’ contention that they could not answer these basic questions absent some nonspecific ‘vetting’ that has yet to take place, provides no basis for their lack of compliance,” she wrote.
The judge demanded daily updates on Abrego Garcia.
“Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that beginning April 12, 2025, and continuing each day thereafter until further order of the Court, Defendants shall file daily, on or before 5:00 PM ET, a declaration made by an individual with personal knowledge as to any information regarding: (1) the current physical location and custodial status of Abrego Garcia; (2) what steps, if any, Defendants have taken to facilitate his immediate return to the United States; (3) what additional steps Defendants will take, and when, to facilitate his return.1 A follow-up in-person hearing will be scheduled for Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM,” the judge wrote.
The DOJ trolled Judge Xinis in its status report which they filed one hour late on Monday evening.
In Monday’s filing, the DOJ didn’t answer Judge Xinis’ questions on Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts. They linked to El Salvador President Bukele’s Oval Office comments on Abrego Garcia.
UPDATE: An hour late, the only substantive update from DOJ is a link to Bukele’s Oval Office comments. Still no response to the judge’s substantive questions. Spells Kilmar’s first name wrong.https://t.co/cm4mIbfwgR pic.twitter.com/MdZLZEX6KC

President Trump welcomed El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele to the White House on Monday.
In an Oval Office meeting, Bukele said he will not return alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Bukele if he plans to return Abrego Garcia after an Obama judge ordered him to be released from the CECOT prison and brought to the US.
“How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” Bukele told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in the Oval Office on Monday.
