U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis issued a stern warning to the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. During a hearing on Tuesday, Judge Xinis declared she has "no tolerance for gamesmanship" in the case. Her statement came in response to ongoing legal proceedings surrounding Abrego Garcia's detention.
Judge Xinis further emphasized the severity of the situation, stating that "everyday Kilmar Abrego Garcia is detained in CECOT is another date of irreparable harm." CECOT is presumably the facility where Abrego Garcia is currently being held, though details about this facility were not released. This statement suggests the judge believes the continued detention is causing significant and irreversible damage to Abrego Garcia.
The judge's strong language indicates a potential conflict between the court and the DOJ regarding the handling of this case. Legal experts suggest her remarks could foreshadow future rulings that may challenge the DOJ's actions. The case continues to be closely monitored.
