The lawyers representing Kilmar Abrego Garcia have asked a federal judge for permission to take three additional depositions from representatives of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the State Department and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding what steps, if any, the Trump administration has taken to facilitate the illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member's release from custody in El Salvador.In a motion filed Wednesday, Abrego Garcia's lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis of Maryland to order the government to designate individuals from DHS, the State Department and the DOJ "who can testify about information known or reasonably available to each Department." They cited a federal rule to prevent "bandying" of organizations, saying this way would be "the most efficient and least intrusive approach to obtain the necessary discovery.""By allowing the Government to identify its own Rule 30(b)(6) representatives, Plaintiffs hope to avoid imposing the burden on the heads of the Departments to testify, while properly putting the onus on the Government to prepare their chosen representatives with the Departments complete knowledge of the narrow issues at stake in this case," they wrote.They noted the court has already approved four depositions, three of which have already taken place, yet "plaintiffs are still in the dark about the governments efforts to facilitate Abrego Garcias release from custody and return to the United States."DEPORTATION FLIGHTS TO LIBYA WOULD VIOLATE COURT ORDER WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE, FEDERAL JUDGE SAYSAbrego Garcia's lawyers said they also might request that someone from the White House testify."In fact, as seems apparent from its public statements, this case also involves decisionmaking at the White House in addition to the three Departments," they wrote. "Accordingly, depending on the testimony obtained in any authorized Department depositions, Plaintiffs may need to seek additional testimony from an appropriately knowledgeable representative of the White House."Fox News Digital reached out to DHS, the State Department, the DOJ, and the White House for comment, but none immediately responded.The motion is redacted in portions with excerpts of depositions that have already taken place regarding Abrego Garcia's location and custodial status.FEDERAL JUDGE OPENS DOOR TO ALIEN ENEMIES ACT TARGETS SUING TRUMP ADMINISTRATIONIn a two-page order Wednesday, Xinis who was appointed by former President Barack Obama said the Trump administration was invoking the "state secrets privilege" to avoid answering a judges questions about Abrego Garcia's deportation.The judge set a May 12 deadline for both parties to submit briefs "addressing the legal and factual bases for the invocation of those privileges," and set a May 16 court hearing on the matter in Greenbelt, Maryland.Testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said that Abrego Garcia "is a citizen of El Salvador and should never have been in this country, and will not be coming back to this country.""There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again," Noem said. "If he were to come back, we would immediately deport him again, because he is a terrorist. He's a human smuggler, and he is a wife beater."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe secretary added that Abrego Garcia "is not a citizen of this country and is a dangerous individual who does not belong."The Trump administration initially admitted that Abrego Garcia had been deported to El Salvador in error, but has since doubled down on his alleged MS-13 membership and documented abuse of his wife while living illegally in Maryland.

FBI Director Kash Patel is warning that the bureau will not be able to fulfill its missions if a White House budget cut proposal released last week is implemented.The proposal, introduced last Friday, would cut the FBIs budget by $545 million as part of President Donald Trump's plan to slash government spending by $163 billion."We cannot cover down on the mission at the levels that we would have to go to, which would be the 2011 levels, should all the budget cuts you just outlined be implemented," Patel said during testimony on Wednesday before the House Appropriations Committee.Patel also urged the panel to approve an $11.1 billion budget for the bureau - an increase of $1 billion over the proposed figure - to combat what he described as increased levels of crime and terrorism across the country.205 ARRESTED IN FBI CHILD SEX OPERATION, PATEL AND BONDI ANNOUNCESince Trump took office earlier this year, "the FBI has made over 6,000 immigration-related arrests, 310 arrests of TdA (Tren de Aragua) members and 136 arrests of MS-13 members," according to an FBI statement.Patel added that budget cuts would be detrimental to the bureau's current personnel and operational capacity.BONDI ANNOUNCES ONE OF LARGEST FENTANYL SEIZURES IN US HISTORY"If we continue on the current trajectory outlined, we will have to not only eliminate 1,100 vacancies currently at the FBI," Patel said. "I will have to fire 1,300 more. In order to fight crime at a level that is consistent with 2025, the budgetary number I've asked for in my paperwork is, I think, reasonable."Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on Patel's remarks, but they did not immediately respond.The budget cut was intended to streamline the bureau by reducing overhead in Washington, D.C.,according to the White House proposal.DAYCARE IN WEALTHY ENCLAVE SHUTTERS AFTER HOUSING FUGITIVE CHILD PREDATOR ARRESTED BY ICE: REPORTIt would also eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs as well as "pet projects" from the former Biden administration, as they "do not align with the Presidents priorities," the budget proposal added."The threats we face as a nation have never been greater or more diverse, and the expectations placed on the FBI have never been higher," the FBI statement continued. "With the requested resources, the FBI will have the talent, tools, and authorities to do more to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution."

Noem says Van Hollen's advocacy for Kilmar Abrego Garcia is "alarming."
