Fed up with the government’s “gamesmanship” and “grandstanding” over the Kilmar Abrego Garcia deportation case, a federal judge in Maryland tore into the Trump administration on Tuesday afternoon following yet another nose-thumbing by the Justice Department in court filings — with DOJ lawyers and administration officials being blasted for not providing proper updates and blatantly ignoring judicial orders related to the deported dad’s situation.

“We’re going to do this by the federal rules of civil procedure,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis told Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Immigration Litigation Drew Ensign and the court Tuesday at a highly-anticipated hearing on Abrego Garcia’s deportation saga, according to Politico reporter Kyle Cheney, who was in attendance.

“No press release is going to move the court the same way that sworn, under oath testimony from persons with knowledge,” Xinis said. “If you have objections, you’re going to have to make them consistent with the rules.”

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador by the U.S. government last month, is “alive and secure” at a notorious work prison there, the State Department insists — but his “future is up to” the Central American country, according to President Donald Trump.

The facility, known as the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), has been described as a “black hole of human rights” and “steel pit” where terrorists, murderers and “psychopaths” are reportedly held, according to the BBC.

Trump said on Saturday night that it was ultimately up to President Nayib Bukele, of El Salvador, to decide what to do with “barbarians” like Abrego Garcia, who were deported under an 18th-century wartime authority last month and placed in CECOT custody — Abrego Garcia mistakenly, despite the fact that he had legal permission to live in the U.S. as a protected resident of Maryland, with his wife and child both being U.S. citizens.
