The judge accused the government of misleading her by not acknowledging Costa Rica as a viable removal option. Abrego Garcia, who has an American wife and child, cannot be deported without a removal order. Government attorneys argue they can detain him until deportation, while his lawyers claim detention is punitive without a viable deportation plan.
