Here is the full text what the immigration judge ordered in 2019. As Judge #Xinis notes, NONE of these three things include an order of removal.

The government tried to argue that the withholding grant was "implicitly" a removal order, but the #law requires an explicit one.

Judge #Xinis finds that #KilmarAbregoGarcia was NEVER ordered deported in 2019. She notes that ever since this began in March 2025, the government has NEVER been able to produce ANY evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

US District Judge Paula #Xinis ruled that #ICE must release #KilmarAbregoGarcia from custody immediately.

“Since Abrego Garcia’s return from wrongful detention in El Salvador, he has been re-detained, again without lawful authority,” the judge wrote. “For this reason, the Court will GRANT Abrego Garcia’s Petition for immediate release from ICE custody.”

Explain to me how a Federal contempt of court charge is a deterrent if POTUS just writes out a preemptive pardon? #uspol #boasberg #xinis #deportation #pardon #contempt #ContemptOfCourt #FederalCourts #DueProcess

The U.S. government’s decision to arrest a Maryland man and send him to a notorious prison in El Salvador appears to be
“wholly lawless,”
federal judge #Paula #Xinis wrote Sunday in a legal opinion explaining why she had ordered the Trump administration to bring him back to the United States.
There is little to no evidence to support a “vague, uncorroborated” allegation that #Kilmar #Abrego #Garcia was once in the MS-13 street gang,
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis wrote.
And in any case, she said, an immigration judge had expressly barred the U.S. in 2019 from deporting Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, where he faced likely persecution by local gangs.

“As defendants acknowledge, they had no legal authority to arrest him,
no justification to detain him,
and no grounds to send him to El Salvador
— let alone deliver him into one of the most dangerous prisons in the Western Hemisphere,” Xinis wrote.
She said it was “eye-popping” that the government had argued that it could not be forced to bring Abrego Garcia back because he is no longer in U.S. custody.
“They do indeed cling to the stunning proposition that they can forcibly remove any person
— migrant and U.S. citizen alike
—to prisons outside the United States,
and then baldly assert they have no way to effectuate return
because they are no longer the ‘custodian,’ and the Court thus lacks jurisdiction,” Xinis wrote.
“As a practical matter, the facts say otherwise.”
