Who is Paula Xinis, the federal judge overseeing the Abrego Garcia case?
ON WHAT FACT CHECKERS FOUND. OUR PARTNERS AT POLITIFACT HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS CASE AND FOUND THAT NOT EVERYTHING THAT바카라 게임 웹사이트S CIRCULATING ABOUT THIS MAN IS ACCURATE. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE THAT KILMER GARCIA WAS DEPORTED TO EL SALVADOR, BUT HAS SAID THAT HIS ALLEGED AFFILIATION WITH THE DEADLY MS. 13 GANG MAKES HIM INELIGIBLE TO COME BACK INTO THE U.S. HIS WIFE AND HIS ATTORNEY HAVE DENIED THAT HE IS A MEMBER OF MS. 13. LAST WEEK, EL SALVADOR바카라 게임 웹사이트S PRESIDENT ALSO SAID IT WON바카라 게임 웹사이트T RETURN A GARCIA.

THEY FOUND SEVERAL ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS WERE MISLEADING WHEN THEY DESCRIBED ABREGO GARCIA바카라 게임 웹사이트S CASE ABOUT HIS PROTECTIONS, AND A U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISION ORDERING THE U.S. TO BRING HIM HOME, INCLUDING ONE CLAIM FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI, WHICH POLITIFACT SAID NEEDS MORE CONTEXT. BONDI SAID THAT IN 2019, TWO COURTS, AN IMMIGRATION COURT AND AN APPELLATE IMMIGRATION COURT RULED THAT HE WAS A MEMBER OF MS. 13 AFTER HE WAS ORIGINALLY DENIED BOND.

AND IN FACT, IN THAT CASE, HE WAS GRANTED A PROTECTION AGAINST DEPORTATION FROM THE U.S. BECAUSE HE WAS PREVIOUSLY A VICTIM OF GANG VIOLENCE IN EL SALVADOR. AN ATTORNEY FOR ABREGO, GARCIA TOLD POLITIFACT THAT HIS CLIENT HAS, QUOTE, NEVER BEEN CONVICTED OF ANY CRIME, GANG RELAT
