Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garciaâs release in part bc ICE could not produce a final âorder of removalâ to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.

The immigration âjudgeâ allegedly sua sponte â meaning without any request by a party, which is obviously a lie given the circumstances â âcorrectedâ the 2019 order to fix a âscrivenerâs errorâ and order Mr Abrego Garcia deported.

Not surprisingly, Judge Xinis blocked that. What a corrupt act.
Yes, itâs one they handpicked, and IIRC is actually a judge in management who only hears a small number of cases. Itâs so flagrantly corrupt and a perversion of due process you almost have to laugh; then go off and file a bar complaint against the judge for violating ethics rules.

Now that ICE has gone to that length, there is now cause to request a TRO.
