Judge demands DOJ explain Abrego Garcia plans: ‘It’s like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall’

  • U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis grilled the Justice Department on Monday, demanding clarity about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's indictment and return plans.
  • The scrutiny arose after Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in March, while the criminal investigation did not start until April 28.
  • DOJ attorney Bridget O'Hickey acknowledged ongoing negotiations with El Salvador and said the indictment was not solely to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return.
  • Judge Xinis criticized DOJ’s evasive answers as 'like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall,' questioning how they secured an indictment when lacking power to produce him.
  • The judge scheduled a Thursday hearing to hear from DHS about its plans, as ICE intends to detain and deport Abrego Garcia, with the third country still undecided.
