BREAKING: Court grants Abrego Garcia the power to sanction Trump admin https://www.beltway.news/p/breaking-court-grants-abrego-garcia Posted by camaron-courier
>A major motion was granted in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia that allows the wrongfully deported man’s legal team to sanction the US Department of Justice over its abuse of confidentiality orders and for withholding unredacted materials from the court. By allowing discovery sanctions, US District Judge Paula Xinis has given Abrego Garcia’s lawyers the power to compel Trump’s DOJ to provide unredacted copies of materials that they have used as justification for ignoring the court’s order to facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return home.
>But here’s the kicker: if the DOJ fails to comply, case closed. Among the penalties for ignoring discovery sanctions are that the requested materials can no longer be used in the case—meaning the DOJ has no defense—or the judge can render “a default judgment against the disobedient party.”

>Abrego Garcia’s lawyers have until June 11 to file sanctions, and the DOJ has seven days after that filing to comply, which means the government’s case against Abrego Garcia could finally come to an end just in time for Trump’s birthday parade.
