Migration: Trump brings erroneous deportation to the highest court

In the dispute over the accidental deportation of a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador, the government of US President Donald Trump turned to the Supreme Court shortly before the migrant has expired. This was reported by the ABC broadcaster and the “Washington Post”.

The government thus opposed the decision of a federal judge in the state of Maryland, who had ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who comes from El Salvador, to be brought back to the USA by Monday (local time).

The Ministry of Justice argued in the urgent application to the Supreme Richter that the judge had exceeded her powers when she ordered the return to the United States. Abrego Garcia is no longer in the custody of the United States, and Washington has no way to get it back.

Man actually had deportation protection

The father belongs to a group of migrants who had recently been brought from the USA to the Salvadorian high -security prison Cecot – presumably despite a different order of a court in Washington.

According to US media, Garcia had entered the United States in 2012. His asylum application was rejected in 2019, but at that time he received abdominal protection due to impending persecution in El Salvador. On March 12 of this year, he was still arrested in Maryland and deported a few days later. In this case, the Trump government has granted an “administrative mistake”-but states that Garcia is a member of the gang MS-13.

Judge: “In my opinion only chatter”

According to reports, the federal judge had skeptically commented on the allegations against Garcia. In her opinion, there is no reliable evidence of gang membership. “Politico” quoted the judge with the words: “In my opinion, this is only chatter.”

Shortly after the hearing, the US media reported that one of the responsible government lawyers had been on leave in the case of the U.S. Ministry of Justice indefinitely. He had shown himself frustrated during the hearing and, among other things, admitted that the deportation should never have happened. The “New York Times” quoted the ministry with the words that he did not follow instructions.
