A federal judge in Maryland is demanding that the federal government facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador. The Trump administration is asking for more time to answer the judge’s questions and is arguing that foreign affairs should not be subject to judicial timelines. Abrego Garcia’s case has become a contentious issue between the White House and the courts, with the administration admitting the mistake but maintaining that he cannot be brought back.
The Supreme Court directed the Trump administration to release Abrego Garcia from custody in El Salvador and provide updates on their actions. The court’s two liberal justices supported this order, questioning the legal basis for Abrego Garcia’s arrest and deportation. The case was sent back to the lower court to clarify the wording of the original order, emphasizing the deference owed to the Executive Branch in foreign affairs matters.
The Trump administration claims that Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, while his lawyers argue that he is an innocent man unjustly accused. Despite living peacefully in Maryland for years, Abrego Garcia was arrested and deported by ICE last month. The case is likely to see further appeals, with uncertainty surrounding Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S. after the Supreme Court’s intervention.
