💨 Abstract

The Department of Justice seeks to dismiss Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawsuit in Maryland, arguing that his return to the U.S. resolves the issue. Garcia's attorneys want the case to continue, seeking accountability for his wrongful deportation and a special master to investigate the circumstances. Garcia, currently in Tennessee, faces human smuggling charges, which his lawyers call an attempt to justify the deportation error. The government maintains the court no longer has jurisdiction since Garcia has been returned.
