U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis excoriated Trump administration lawyers Friday in a remarkable status hearing centered on Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Salvadorian migrant and alleged MS-13 member who was deported from Maryland to El Salvador in March in what administration officials have acknowledged was an administrative error.
The heated back-and-forth was full of eye-popping exchanges between the judge and the Justice Department, as she took umbrage with their attempts to invoke the state secrets privilege to shield details concerning Abrego Garcia from the court.
"What world are we living in," Xinis asked in disbelief after more than two hours of proceedings. "What sort of legal world are we living in?"
She sparred multiple times with DOJ lawyers over their assertion that Abrego Garcia was lawfully detained and deported.
"He was lawfully detained? No he wasn’t!" Judge Xinis objected. "There was no order of removal, there was no warrant for removal – there was nothing."
She cut off Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn again when he attempted to continue with a different argument. "You didn’t even respond to what I just said," she told him. "A DHS attorney came in at the first hearing and confirmed that there was no lawful basis to arrest Abrego Garcia."

The Skank even looks retarded. The clown should be home baking cookies.
>> “What sort of legal world are we living in?”
Indeed, you lezbo America-hating marxist. Back atcha. What sort?
Well, what did he actually say? I get the sense that Fox isn't reporting on the whole exchange accurately and without bias.
If the ho is looking for a illegal alien pool boy, she should go down to El Salvador herself and ‘coyote” his ass back here and sneak Albrego back in.
Now that the friggin’ scumbag foreign illegal aliens own our judiciary, WHERE THE HELL DO WE AMERICANS GO TO SEEK JUSTICE?
He was here illegally. Next question?
In the old west, men usually didn’t care when the squaws went on the “warpath”.
I ain’t eating those cookies.
Excerpt:
Pointing to a prior admission from the Trump administration, Xinis also said Abrego Garcia was removed from the U.S. “without lawful authority.”
Xinis: “You’ve conceded it. There’s witness testimony,” she said. Any attempt to revise this “would be exceptionally difficult.”
Justice Department attorney Guynn: “Respectfully, your honor, he was removed lawfully.”
Xinis: “No,” an incredulous Xinis shot back. “He was removed unlawfully.”
Justice Department attorney Guynn: “His removal from the U.S. was lawful,” he insisted.
Xinis: “Well no - no it wasn’t,” she said, visibly stunned.

the only JD response reported in the entire story.
In the colonial period, she would be tarred and feathered by now.
DOJ: "OK....what if that foreign country tells us where we can get off....that they're a sovereign country and he is their citizen and they're not going to hand him over to us or anybody else - just as we would if a foreign country demanded we hand over one of our citizens in our country to them?"
Judge: "Huff Huff Huff....you haven't obeyed the order I gave despite the fact that BY LAW I have no jurisdiction over this matter. Huff Huff. I'm so angry. Huff Huff. Don't you know I'm a judge and I have the power of God almighty?"
The removal is done and irreversible, and the judge just mentally can’t take it.
Say...isn’t the judicial only ONE leg of this three legged stool of government and the other two have equal power? Time for the duly elected PRESIDENT of these United States of America to IMPOSE the dictates of HIS job description onto these so-called “judges” who seem to be under the impression that THEY have Presidential powers. They don’t.
You know, you’re right about that.
James “Jemmy” Madison would have been right in there, dumping the sack of feathers square in her head, and kicking her in the rump.
...on her head...
Soap and ballot are used up. We are running out of boxes.
My recollection is in the first hearing the DOJ attorney didn’t want to be there.
Come on man! Don’t you remember when Judge Paula raked over the coals the Biden Administration for not enforcing the immigration laws! She dragged the Biden officials into court, invited the press and went to work grilling them on what made them think they could just disregard the boarder laws and fail to protect US citizens from criminals? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Neither do I….
And furthermore the answer to the question “lawful basis to arrest Abrego Garcia” is HE WAS IN THE USA ILLEGALLY! That was an on going crime, just like the police arrest arrest the person in the act of robbing a bank, or fighting in public, or drunk driving. No warrant needed, act of crime baby! In the act of a crime!
* Unmasking communications as part & parcel of a national emergency is the peaceful way. 99% of the Swamp would drain overnight if TrumpII unmasked comms. A Wikileaks right now would give us supermajorities in 2026.
* With supermajorities, the United States must immediately establish an Article III domestic tribunal for domestic terrorists, and revive the Roman rite of Exile as one of the key punishments.
* IF this is the Hill the Democrats want — to usurp the Executive Branch to return a criminal native of El Salvador in an El Salvadoran prison — they have chosen poorly.
