U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said the government’s refusal to provide certain information in the case has been “an exercise in utter frustration.”

The judge in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case reprimanded the government for not providing enough basis for her to determine if information in the case should be privileged.

A federal judge will hear arguments Friday from the Trump administration to determine if the government has the legal privilege to not share details about its actions taken toward the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
