Citing the Supreme Court's unanimous decision, she clarified that the U.S. government is required to facilitate Garcia's return. The judge dismissed the DOJ's references to Nayib Bukele's comments during a press conference as irrelevant, asserting the need for credible evidence over political theatrics. Xinis requested full discovery regarding both the case against Garcia and the government's efforts to bring him home, highlighting an apparent lack of action from the DOJ.
Xinis emphasized the Supreme Court's stance, firmly asserting that the Trump administration is obligated to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the U.S., dismissing DOJ's arguments as irrelevant.
In a powerful rebuke, Judge Xinis highlighted the absurdity of claiming that El Salvador's Bukele holds power in this legal matter, asserting the U.S. must act decisively.
Judge Xinis set a clear pathway for full discovery, indicating her intent to investigate the government's inadequate efforts to bring Abrego Garcia home.
The judge firmly rejected the DOJ's reliance on Bukele's statements during a press conference, emphasizing that the Supreme Court's ruling carries more weight.
