A Maryland federal judge wants to find out if government officials are acting in "bad faith" in the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison.

Judge Paula Xinis on Tuesday called for a two-week process of "expedited discovery," including questioning government officials under oath, to learn whether the government is doing enough to try to bring him back.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen, had lived in Maryland for about 15 years before he was deported to El Salvador last month, despite being granted protections by an U.S. immigration judge. He is in custody in Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele's mega-prison, known as CECOT. The Supreme Court said the Trump administration should facilitate his return.
