The Department of Justice on Friday said that U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis’ order to facilitate the return of deported Maryland resident Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia from El Salvador has an “impracticable deadline.”
On Thursday night, Xinis ordered the Trump administration to “take all available steps to facilitate the return” of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador.
The directive from Xinis follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision on Thursday rejecting the administration’s emergency appeal of her April 4 order requiring the return of Abrego Garcia. The high court’s ruling reinforces that the government must act to correct the wrongful deportation.
On Friday, DOJ wrote in a new court filing, “Defendants are unable to provide the information requested by the Court on the impracticable deadline set by the Court hours after the Supreme Court issued its order.”
“Defendants are not in a position where they ‘can’ share any information requested by the Court. That is the reality.”
