The federal judge overseeing the wrongful deportation case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia on Wednesday denied a motion from the Trump administration to further delay discovery in the case. The order came a week after the judge paused expedited discovery for seven days after the Trump administration asked her for the stay.

A federal judge lifted her weeklong pause on litigation that seeks to require the Trump administration to say what it has done to facilitate the return of a Maryland resident deported by mistake to an El Salvador prison.

Trump’s comments undermined previous statements by his top aides and were a blunt sign of his administration’s intention to double down and defy the courts.
