The federal judge extends the arguments in the Abrego Garcia case; Slams that “who” knew nothing “

Greenbelt, md. – US District Judge Paula Xinis ordered lawyers for the Ministry of Justice and Migrant Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia to return to court on Friday morning for another day of hearings, while she continues to weigh the next stages of the civil affair, including an effort by ABREGO lawyers to pre -empt the plans of the Trump administration to deport him in a country in a country.

Xinis made the call for an additional day of arguments at 5.30 p.m., on the declared objections of the lawyers of the Ministry of Justice, who told him that at least two of them had previous obligations and could not appear before the court. For its part, Xinis was unfriendly.

She said that the witness they provided in the court “took four times longer that he should have” testified “, because he knew nothing”.

“It’s on the government,” said Xinis, adding: “If you want to discuss it now, we can.”

On Friday, the two parties were sentenced to appear in court at 9 am to continue the arguments.

Xinis had also suggested the possibility of a temporary ban prescription, by which the government would accept certain things, such as the requirements that the ice keeps Abrego Garcia in police custody for at least 48 hours before it is removed, and that they maintain it in local installations of immigration detention and does not mind, Alaska, “to prevent access to its distance.

“However, I am not willing to authorize an unhindered release of Abrego Garcia”, if he is released from the American guard in Tennessee next Wednesday, she said. “I want full insurance”, and there are “a lot of Delta” between the place where they ended Thursday and where she had hoped that the court would be at the end of the hearing on Thursday.

The prolonged arguments crowned a long day of unsatisfactory testimony to the court led by witness Thomas Giles, deputy director of the ICE application and dismissal operations office.

The judge Xinis had ordered the government to produce a witness for the court with “personal knowledge” of the affair of Abrego Garcia to testify, under oath, on the “who, what, where and when” with regard to the case of the detention of the ice custody on the custody of ice.

In the end, few new information has been provided. Giles himself said he was informed by a senior DHS official Tuesday morning at 7:47 a.m. Pacific time on his role in the audience, and that he had spent about a total “4 hour” for appearance.

He could not offer the Court new information on the moves of the third country, despite his 24th birthday at Ice, noting on several occasions that he knew the procedures very little and had not had direct involvement with such cases for 18 years.

Xinis, who spoke little during the procedure, seemed surprised by the lack of knowledge of giles, despite his status as a senior ice. She said that she planned to continue the questions on Friday and would probably tackle the lack of knowledge of a witness to the key government.

Xinis scrambled the past objections that the two lawyers of the Ministry of Justice may not be available to discuss, and harassed the idea that they have moved their schedules to be accommodating. “I have 400 cases,” she replied.

The request came after the Ministry of Justice officials conceded during a hearing earlier this week that Garcia Garcia could be removed from his United States as of July 16 – nine days from today, when a federal judge of Tennessee will examine if he should be released and transferred to the DHS.

Abrego Garcia, currently held by the American marshals of Tennessee, was dismissed from El Salvador in June – three months after his deportation and weeks after the Supreme Court supported Xinis order to facilitate his return.

Upon arrival, Abrego was immediately slapped from federal accusations resulting from a traffic stop in 2022. The Ministry of Justice officials admitted to the court this week that they planned to take him immediately in police custody this month and to deport him in a third country – regardless of the status of his criminal case.

Xinis, who manages his civil affair, lawyers of the Trump administration grilled on Monday for having opened a federal investigation into Abrego Garcia in the American intermediate district of Tennessee – and how the calendar of the investigation and the federal accusation act clashed with the government’s testimony in its own court.

She took shade as soon as possible of the criminal investigation, noting that, by the own admission of the government, he began to investigate Abrego Garcia in the District of the Tennessee community on April 28, 2025 – the same time that the officials declared in court that the administration was powerless to order a foreign government to return Abrego Garcia, in accordance.

“Now, I have real concerns – as if I haven’t done it for three months,” said Xinis in response.

Lawyers from the Ministry of Justice also told Xinis that they did not plan to keep it in the United States until the end of his trial.

“No,” replied the prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice Jonathan Guynn.

“There is no intention of putting it in the limbo in police custody while we are waiting for the criminal affair to unfold,” Guynn told Xinis. “It will be deleted, just like any other illegal foreigner in this process.”

“Given the series of illegal actions” here, I have the impression that it is indeed my power to order this hearing – perhaps more than one – hear the testimony of at least one witness with a first -hand knowledge, which can answer these questions on the next immediate stages “of the government while waiting for the release of Abrego Garca de la Garde, said Xinis.
