Judge Says Trump Official’s Testimony on Removing Abrego Garcia Is ‘a Zero’

Oral arguments address Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation after mistaken removal; attorneys dispute ICE's plan to deport him to Liberia instead of Costa Rica.

  • In Washington, oral arguments open in the immigration case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, focusing on custody and removal questions in the U.S. immigration court in Washington.
  • ICE filed notice last month seeking to deport Abrego to Liberia, while Abrego's attorneys filed Friday arguing he designated Costa Rica and requested removal there.
  • The man's prior mistaken removal by the Trump administration underpins current proceedings, as Kilmar Abrego Garcia was mistakenly deported years ago and later returned to the U.S.
  • A judge's ruling will decide whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains in immigration custody or is released, setting immediate next steps in his removal process.
  • Immigration policy watchers will watch whether the ruling alters enforcement practice, as high-profile filings have increased scrutiny of removal procedures and timing by U.S. immigration authorities.
