A Maryland judge Monday rejected a bid by the Trump administration to delay alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation case because of the government shutdown. US District Judge Paula Xinis said during a hearing in Greenbelt federal court Monday that she was “duty bound” to keep the case moving since it touches upon the important topic of whether the Trump administration’s deportation policies are legal, according to a report by ABC News. The feds asked that all deadlines in Abrego Garcia’s lawsuit be suspended over the shutdown, claiming federal lawyers were only allowed to work — whether paid or even voluntarily — in emergency cases that effect human safety and protection of property.
