Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily halted a lower court order demanding the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration. The Justice Department’s request for emergency relief to block the order came amid a court-ordered deadline for the man’s return. The man, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, was deported to El Salvador despite a protective order. The Trump administration admitted the deportation was an error due to his alleged ties to MS-13.
The case has sparked a legal battle over the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport individuals to El Salvador. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys argue that the evidence of his gang ties is based on a confidential informant and his clothing at the time of arrest. Despite being granted withholding of removal to El Salvador, he was deported. The Justice Department has opposed efforts to bring him back, citing his alleged ties to the gang. A federal judge ordered his return, prompting an appeal to the Supreme Court. The case raises questions about judicial oversight and foreign relations.
