BREAKING: Trump Admin Invokes State Secrets Privilege to Block Attempt to Return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to US – Judge Xinis Responds
Gateway Pundit ^ | May 7, 2025 | Cristina Laila

The Trump Administration on Wednesday invoked the state secrets privilege to block the attempt to return MS-13 gang member and wife beater Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the Unites States.

The Trump DOJ invoked the State Secrets Privilege in response to a federal judge’s order demanding details on Abrego Garcia’s incarceration at El Salvador’s CECOT prison.

US District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, responded to the Trump Administration’s invocation of the state secrets privilege and ordered a formal briefing.

Both parties must submit briefs by Monday.

“The Court requires formal briefing of the Defendants’ invocations of privilege, principally the state secrets and deliberative process privileges, as discussed in ECF No. 112. Accordingly, by Monday May 12, 2025, the parties shall submit simultaneous briefs, not to exceed 25 pages exclusive of exhibits, addressing the legal and factual bases for the invocation of those privileges, including Plaintiff’s request for the Court to conduct in camera review of the withheld documents,” Judge Xinis wrote in a 2-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

The best course of action would be to ask President Bukele Ortez to arrange to have "Maryland Man" die in his sleep.

“Both parties must submit briefs by Monday.”

It’s a good thing I am not a lawyer representing the admin on this one.

“You said ‘brief’. OK. I’ll be brief. There are 3 co-equal branches of government. Why is a district judge ordering the Executive Branch around?”

This is out of the hands of Xinis and even Trump.

Bukele said last month there was no chance of Abrego leaving CECOT.

Unless he changed his mind?

Xinis could go down to El Salvador to enforce her order.

If they refuse she could issue a bench warrant for Bukele.

If they throw her in CECOT she could issue a warrant for the jail keepers.

Take the ‘Maryland Man’, to the US Embassy in El Salvador. It’s 40 minutes away from the prison he’s in. It’s also officially US territory. Then, on US territory.....deport him.

“there was no chance of Abrego leaving CECOT”

As I recollect, he was moved to another prison.

One of the greatest pleasures available to a Latin American is to be able to tell an arrogant gringo to stuff it.

“Xinis could go down to El Salvador to enforce her order.”

She needs to be humble.

There are few things Latin Americans hate more than arrogant American government officials.

She needs to get off her high horse and retain El Salvadoran counsel to petition El Salvadoran courts.

Humility and courtesy are the norms in a Hispanic society.

The White House and DOJ are bending over backwards making these Judges and RATS look like the a-holes they are.

"The Trump DOJ invoked the State Secrets Privilege in response to a federal judge’s order demanding details on Abrego Garcia’s incarceration at El Salvador’s CECOT prison."

According to a search: "Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran national who lived in Maryland, was transferred from the notorious CECOT prison to the administration building at Centro Industrial, where he has his own room with a bed and furniture, rather than a prison cell, according to a court filing that cited Van Hollen's remarks."

This filing is moot.
