Maryland Senator reacts to Abrego Garcia’s return to US, new charges
(CNN) — Attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a judge to put severe sanctions on the Trump administration, saying federal officials violated court orders to prove the steps they were taking to attempt to get the wrongfully deported man out of El Salvador for weeks, before he was returned to face criminal charges.
It’s the latest move in the court fight over Abrego Garcia and whether the Trump administration appropriately handled the political and legal maelstrom.

“The Government did virtually nothing,” they said in a court filing late Wednesday night.
