The Trump administration said it would not return a wrongly deported Maryland dad home by a Friday morning deadline because the timeframe a judge imposed was “impracticable.”
In effect, the Department of Justice is openly defying a court order that requires the government to bring home 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was flown to a mega prison in El Salvador last month due to an “administrative error.”
Maryland District Court Judge Paula Xinis, a Barack Obama appointee, granted an extension on Friday morning—from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.—but refused to grant a request by government attorneys to push the deadline to Wednesday.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
