Judge re-ups demand that White House show efforts to retrieve Kilmar Ábrego García from El Salvador

With seven-day pause expiring Wednesday, Paula Xinis says administration must provide sworn testimony by May

• Denied, detained, deported: the faces of Trump's immigration crackdown

A federal judge on Wednesday again directed the Trump administration to provide information about its efforts so far, if any, to comply with her order to retrieve Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador prison.

The US district judge Paula Xinis in Maryland temporarily halted her directive for information at the administration's request last week. But with the seven-day pause expiring at 5pm, she set May deadlines for officials to provide sworn testimony on anything they have done to return Abrego Garcia to the US.
