马里兰州的一名美国法官驳回了特朗普政府将基尔马尔·阿布雷戈·加西亚驱逐到利比里亚的企图，法官在一份程序性裁定中严厉斥责了司法部的行为，称司法部试图在法官看来“操控”法庭的行动。
美国地区法官宝拉·辛尼斯对政府要求她在4月中旬前就解除她目前阻止阿布雷戈·加西亚留在美国、允许政府将其驱逐出境的禁令的请求作出裁决表示不满。
她尖锐驳斥了司法部的主张，即法院“必须”在该日期前作出裁决，否则禁令将被无视。
“被告方不能操控法庭的日程安排或动议的结果，”辛尼斯说道。“他们也不能对尚未作出的司法判决提出上诉。”

辛尼斯最终在周二表示，政府要求驱逐阿布雷戈·加西亚的请求“尚未成熟”，法院无法就此作出裁决，并为双方设定了新的提交材料时限。
她还制定了新的提交日程，相关文件需在4月20日前提交，并将新的听证会定在4月28日。
特朗普政府的律师在数小时前的一场听证会上告诉法庭，尽管美国与哥斯达黎加达成了一项新协议，允许将阿布雷戈·加西亚遣送至该国，但他们仍打算将阿布雷戈·加西亚驱逐到非洲国家利比里亚。
美国移民与海关执法局代理局长托德·莱昂斯辩称，允许将阿布雷戈·加西亚送往他首选的遣送国哥斯达黎加，将对美国“造成不利影响”，他称美国为谈判将他和其他部分移民遣送至利比里亚投入了“大量”政府资源和资金。
另一名官员暗示，如果阿布雷戈·加西亚愿意，他可以“自行前往”哥斯达黎加，法官指出这是一种“空想”。

自2025年3月以来，阿布雷戈·加西亚的身份一直处于法律和政治漩涡的中心。当时，尽管有2019年一名移民法官的命令，他还是被驱逐回了祖国萨尔瓦多。特朗普政府在去年春末将他送回了美国。
过去13个月来一直主持阿布雷戈·加西亚民事案件的辛尼斯以严谨、循序渐进的提问风格著称——她此前将这一过程比作“一口一口地吃掉一头大象”。但这种耗时费力的审查程序引发了特朗普盟友和司法部律师的批评，他们对漫长的审理时间表以及他们所称的对驱逐行动的不当拖延表示不满。

数月来，司法部一直激烈反对阿布雷戈·加西亚目前留在美国的身份，以及阻止他被驱逐的禁令。
他的案件因多项细节变得更加复杂，其中包括2025年11月的一项裁定：阿布雷戈·加西亚未收到将其驱逐到第三国所需的最终驱逐通知。
尽管如此，辛尼斯不同寻常的尖锐裁定还是详细阐述了法官所称的对案件历史的“审慎回顾”，最后得出结论称“如果说有谁应该为实质性拖延负责的话，那就是被告方”。
数月来，特朗普政府官员一直在争论有争议的最终驱逐通知，以及法院是否应该考虑一名移民法官在12月发布的追溯性驱逐令。其他听证会的焦点包括此前被指定接收阿布雷戈·加西亚的四个非洲国家是否提供了任何担保，如果他被驱逐到这些国家的话。
特朗普政府的律师多次暗示，辛尼斯无权审理阿布雷戈·加西亚的案件，理由是涉及外交和外国主权，这是总统权力最强的领域。
特朗普政府高级官员抨击辛尼斯和其他地区法官是“激进主义法官”，称他们在叫停或暂停总统包括移民问题和执法在内的重大政策优先事项时越权。
辛尼斯本人则不为所动。她在2月份表示，政府未能向法院提供任何“充分理由”，让他们相信“在可预见的未来”会将阿布雷戈·加西亚驱逐到第三国。
相反，她表示，政府“一次又一次地发出空洞威胁，声称要将他驱逐到非洲国家，但实际上没有成功的可能”。

Judge blocks Trump’s push to deport Abrego Garcia, rebukes DOJ for trying to ‘dictate’ court

Xinis blocked the Trump administration’s bid to deport Abrego Garcia to Liberia, for now — the latest in a 13-month legal fight

A U.S. judge in Maryland rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia, using an otherwise procedural order Tuesday to scold the Justice Department for its conduct and for attempting, in the judge’s view, to “dictate” the actions of the court.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis took umbrage at the government’s demand that she rule by mid-April on their request for her to dissolve her injunction keeping Abrego Garcia in the U.S. for now, and allowing them to deport him to Liberia.
She sharply disputed the Justice Department’s assertion that the court “must” rule by that date, at risk of having the injunction ignored.
“Respondents cannot dictate the Court’s schedule or the outcome of the motion,” Xinis said. “Nor can they appeal a judicial order that does not exist.”

Ultimately, Xinis said Tuesday, the request was “not ripe” for the court to rule on the government’s removal of Abrego Garcia, and set new briefing dates for both parties.
She also set a new briefing schedule, with filings due on April 20, and a new hearing date, scheduled for April 28.
Lawyers for the Trump administration told the court during a hearing hours earlier that they still intend to deport Abrego Garcia to the African country of Liberia, despite a new agreement between the U.S. and Costa Rica that would allow him to be sent there.
Acting ICE director Todd Lyons argued that allowing Abrego Garcia to be sent to Costa Rica, his preferred country of removal, would be “prejudicial” to the U.S., citing what Lyons described as the “significant” government resources and capital the U.S. has invested in negotiating his removal and the removal of certain other migrants to Liberia.
Another official suggested Abrego Garcia could “remove himself” to Costa Rica, should he choose to live there, which the judge noted was a “fantasy.”

Abrego Garcia’s status has been at the center of a legal and political maelstrom since March 2025, when he was deported to his home country of El Salvador, despite a 2019 order from an immigration judge. He was returned by the Trump administration to the U.S. late last spring.
Xinis, who has presided over Abrego Garcia’s civil cases for the last 13 months, has developed a reputation for her careful, methodological style of questioning — a process she previously likened to “eating an elephant, one bite at a time.” But the laborious review process has sparked criticism from Trump allies and Justice Department lawyers alike, who have expressed frustration with the lengthy timeline and what they argue are undue delays to removal efforts.

The Justice Department has bitterly disputed Abrego Garcia’s current status in the U.S. for months, as well as the injunction keeping him in the country, for now.
His case has been further complicated by several details, including the November 2025 determination that Abrego Garcia had not been issued a final notice of removal needed to deport him to a third country.
Still, Xinis’s unusually pointed order lays out what the judge described as a “careful recapitulation” of the case history, before concluding that “if anyone, Respondents bear the responsibility for substantial delay.”
Trump administration officials have for months sparred over the final notice of removal in question, as well as whether the court should consider a retroactive removal order that an immigration judge issued in December. Other hearings have focused on what, if any, assurances the four African nations previously identified for Abrego Garcia’s removal had provided, should he be deported there.
Lawyers for the Trump administration have suggested on multiple occasions that Xinis lacks jurisdiction to review Abrego Garcia’s case, citing matters involving diplomacy and foreign sovereigns, an area where presidential powers are at their strongest.
Senior Trump administration officials have assailed Xinis and other district judges as “activist” judges whom they say have overstepped their powers in halting or pausing some of the president’s biggest policy priorities, including on immigration issues and enforcement.
Xinis, for her part, has proceeded unfazed. She said in February that the government had failed to provide the court with any “good reason to believe” that they plan to remove Abrego Garcia to a third country in the “reasonably foreseeable future.”

Instead, she said, the government “made one empty threat after another to remove him to countries in Africa with no real chance of success.”
