WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is invoking the “ state secrets privilege ” in an apparent attempt to avoid answering a judge’s questions about its mistaken deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador.

The Trump administration appears to have invoked the state secrets privilege to keep info in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an admittedly "wrongfully deported" man from Maryland, under wraps. The post ‘Legal and factual bases for the invocation’: Judge demands Trump admin justify using state secrets privilege to keep info in Abrego Garcia deportation case under wraps first appeared on Law & Crime.

It’s the second time in recent weeks that the Trump administration has invoked the state secrets privilege in order to frustrate judges’ demand for information.
