paragraph_text: Abrego Garcia's return
  
  The government brought Abrego Garcia back to the US on June 6 to face new criminal charges, and the DOJ then asked Xinis to pause the proceedings in anticipation of their filing a motion to dismiss the case entirely. Abrego Garcia's lawyers opposed this, arguing that the government had engaged in "blatant, willful and persistent violations of court orders" and should be held to account for them, and that Xinis still had jurisdiction to find the government in contempt. On June 11, Abrego Garcia's lawyers filed a motion alleging that the government had not only ignored court orders, but had "willfully sought to impede the discovery process", and they asked Xinis to impose sanctions. Five days later, the government filed its motion to dismiss the case, arguing that because Abrego Garcia was now back in the US, the case was moot.
