Judge in Abrego Garcia case blasts DOJ's inaction, orders officials to
testify under oath
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is entering his second month in an El Salvador mega-prison.
The federal judge overseeing the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia took
Justice Department attorneys to task over their inaction Tuesday,
ordering government officials to testify under oath in order to
resolve Abrego Garcia's wrongful detention.
Saying "The Supreme Court has spoken," U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis
ordered expedited discovery -- in which officials are put under oath
-- in order to "apply the law to the facts."
The judge told Justice Department lawyers that she was ordering
expedited discovery "specifically to determine whether you are
fighting the court order, my court orders, whether you intend to abide
by the court orders."
