A federal judge has pressed Justice Department lawyers about their plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia "within a matter of weeks." The judge, overseeing Garcia's immigration case, demanded answers on the urgency and legal basis for the removal order.
Garcia's legal team has argued against the deportation, citing safety concerns in Liberia and a lack of clear ties to the country. The judge's questioning suggests skepticism over the government's timeline and preparations.
The case now hinges on whether the Department of Justice can justify the rapid deportation or if the court will intervene to block it. A decision is expected in the coming days.
