  3. CW: Trump deportations: incompetence *and* malice

    Trump administration argues judge can’t order return of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador

    A federal judge didn’t have authority to order the Trump administration to broker the return of a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported from the U.S. to a notorious El Salvador prison, government attorneys argued Saturday as they urged the #4thCircuit to suspend the ruling.

    US District Judge Paula Xinis on Friday ordered the administration to “facilitate and effectuate” #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s return to the US.

    “A judicial order that forces the Executive to engage with a foreign power in a certain way, let alone compel a certain action by a foreign sovereign, is constitutionally intolerable,” DOJ lawyers responded.

    Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, was deported despite a 2019 ruling that shielded him from #deportation to El Salvador, where he faced likely persecution by local gangs.
