Judge calls DOJ’s motion to dismiss Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawsuit “meritless”
A federal judge denied the Justice Department’s motions to dismiss Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawsuit over his mistaken deportation to El Salvador, calling one of the government’s motions “meritless.” She did not immediately rule on Abrego Garcia’s motion to be moved to federal custody in Maryland, pending his criminal trial in Tennessee on human trafficking charges.
