The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to lift the judge’s order, asking the Trump administration to “promote” the return of a Maryland man, who was wrongly expelled from El Salvador.
The court’s emergency ruling directed the lower judge to clarify the language of his orders, but she said she took normal action to ensure that Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case was handled “if he hadn’t sent to El Salvador incorrectly, it would have been because he could have.”
The order reads: “The District Court should clarify its directives and consider due regard for respect for the administration’s foreign affairs. For its part, the Government should be prepared to share prospects regarding the steps it has taken and further steps.”
No famous objection.
“In the litigation of remand, the district court should continue to ensure that the government assumes the obligation to comply with the law,” Judge Sonia Sotomayor wrote in another statement.
The government acknowledged that Abrego Garcia was wrongly removed but believed that the court could not order his return because he was now in the hands of the El Salvador authorities, who detained him in the country’s notorious Cecot prison.
Abrego Garcia has lived in Maryland since 2011 at the age of 16. In 2019, an immigration judge issued an order to prevent authorities from deporting him back to El Salvador, where he would face violence.
Despite the orders, Abrego Garcia was one of the March 15 flights that brought our soil and eventually landed in El Salvador. The Trump administration has since blamed it on “administrative mistakes” but believes it is powerless to bring him back.
“The court cannot order executives to conduct diplomatic relations in a special way,” lawyer D. John Sauer wrote in court documents.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, the former President of Obama, served in Maryland, after Abrego Garcia’s family sued, ordered the Trump administration to “promote and implement” Abrego Garcia’s return.
The Supreme Court ruling insisted on the role of the Sinis order, but directed her to clarify the term “effective”, warning that otherwise it was unclear and could be explained in a way beyond her authority.
Sinis had ordered the government to comply on the past Monday, but Chief Justice John Roberts suspended the deadline until the Supreme Court settled its emergency appeal. The High Court noted that the deadline was no longer valid, but no new appointment was set.
The Trump administration accused Abrego Garcia of being a member of the MS-13 gang, who claimed he was involved in an international criminal gang in New York, based on a report from a confidential informant.
But Abrego Garcia’s family said he had never lived in New York and he had any gang contacts with him. Abrego Garcia married a U.S. citizen, the father of a disabled son, who is also an U.S. citizen.
The Trump administration will pay $6 million to the El Salvador administration to deport detained prison next year.
Abrego Garcia’s lawyers have slammed the Trump administration for “promoting “speculative compliance” as a reason not to seek the man’s return.
His lawyer filmed a video while visiting the airport, which could be brought to the district courts within the scope of government recommendations, and to some extent, U.S. officials frequently visit facilities ruled by the U.S., proving impossible, or asking for a presidential diplomacy recommended by the government, which the government could present to the district courts. ”
“But the government cannot obtain permission from a court order based on hypothetical barriers, which is nothing more than a fiction of its imagination.”
In other cases, Abrego Garcia’s mistake of deportation has been noted, as those prosecuting Trump to use the Alien Enemy Act to deport Venezuelans to the same facility said the error suggests the possibility of deporting a man to prison with zero external censorship.
Like Abrego Garcia, many people say they are not affiliated with any gang.
The case is one of a series of emergency applications filed by the Trump administration to the Supreme Court, which encountered different results.
The justices previously canceled orders, preventing the government from invoking the Alien Enemy Act, freezing $65 million in teacher grants and firing thousands of probation employees.
But the government does not always win. The court last month rejected a request to cancel a payment of nearly $20 worth of foreign aid.
