WASHINGTON (CN) — Over a dozen news organizations asked a Maryland judge on Tuesday to unseal court documents detailing the Trump administration’s effort to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
In a public hearing nearly a month ago, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis scoffed that the White House had done nothing to free the Maryland father from an El Salvadorian prison despite a Supreme Court order calling for his release.
Since then, movement on Abrego Garcia’s case has gone dark, playing out in a series of sealed filings and hearings. A group of 14 news organizations claimed that the secrecy in the case prevented reporters from holding the administration accountable in a high-profile case that has become emblematic of President Donald Trump’s second-term immigration policies.
