The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily paused a lower court-ordered deadline to return to the US a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, granting the Trump administration additional time to review the case.
The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily paused a lower court-ordered deadline to return to the US a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, granting the Trump administration additional time to review the case. Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a sheet metal worker and father of three, was deported last month after the Trump administration admitted to an “administrative error.” The error resulted in Abrego Garcia, 38, being put on a plane and sent to El Salvador’s notorious high security prison CECOT, despite a 2019 ruling by an immigration judge that protected him from deportation due to death threats from a gang targeting his family’s pupusa business. The Trump administration has alleged Garcia Abrego was a ranking member of the MS-13 gang. However, Abrego Garcia hasn’t been charged with a crime during six years of routine check-ins with immigration officials. His attorneys and family have rejected the government’s claims, calling his detention unjust and a violation of due process. The case has sparked broader legal debates over executive reach and due process in deportation cases.
