The Justice Department has defied court orders regarding the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. Lawyers representing Garcia noted the Justice Department's refusal to disclose information about the situation, citing state secrets as justification. Despite clear directives from multiple courts, including the Supreme Court, instructing the Trump administration to facilitate Garcia's return, the Justice Department has not complied. This ongoing stonewalling raises serious questions about governmental accountability and adherence to judicial commands.
In refusing to reveal much of anything about the administration's role in improperly sending Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, department lawyers claimed that the information constituted state secrets.
Three courts, including the Supreme Court and the federal appeals court, have instructed the Trump administration to facilitate the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Justice Department seemed not to understand those instructions or perhaps was simply flouting them altogether.
The government's failure to comply with this court's orders raises significant concerns about accountability and transparency in handling wrongful deportations.
