Last night, a federal judge in Maryland said the Trump administration is trying to obstruct the

truth about the wrongful deportation of Kilmar-Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. The judge added

the administration's refusal to answer questions about its assertion that Garcia is an MS-13 gang

member, nor provide details about its contract with the Salvadoran government, quote,

reflects a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations.

Addressing the case this week, President Trump repeatedly said he wants to bypass due process required by the Constitution

in order to fulfill his migrant crackdown.

We have thousands of people that are ready to go out, and you can't have a trial for all of these

people.

They emptied out insane asylums into our country.

We're getting them out, and a judge can't say, no, you have to have a trial that lets, the trial's going to take two years.

Our White House correspondent Laura Broan Lopez joins us now for more.

So Laura, the judge has very strong words there for the Trump administration, bad faith refusal to comply.

Where do things stand now?

So Judge Sinez has essentially given the Trump administration until this evening to, quote,

respond to all outstanding discovery requests and to essentially provide the factual basis

for their assertion that Garcia is an MS-13 gang member.

And so far, there have been a number of depositions of Trump administration officials. But we should note, Omna, that now over the last 24 hours, there have been a number of depositions of Trump administration officials.

But we should note, Omna, that now, over the last 24 hours, there have been a number of sealed filings in the case,

including one from the Trump administration seeking a seven-day stay of Judge Seney's discovery and daily status reports.

And so we expect to hear from Judge Sini soon, but we don't know how she's going to rule on that.

So the president has said he wants to get rid of the legally required due process here for the immigrants.
