Joe Biden's speech and Gene Hackman death investigation: Morning Rundown

A hearing in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, former President Joe Biden's first public post-presidency speech, and what investigators found at Gene Hackman's home.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to show evidence of the actions it has taken to “facilitate” Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return. Joe Biden makes his first public post-presidency speech. And New Mexico authorities release details of their investigation into Gene Hackman’s death.

Here’s what to know today.

The federal judge presiding over the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador, ordered the Trump administration to turn over evidence at the end of the month detailing their efforts to “facilitate” his return to the U.S., saying the government had not shown her anything of note on that front so far.

If the Trump administration does not comply, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said Abrego Garcia’s lawyers “are free to seek separate sanctions on an expedited basis.”
