Donald Trump’s deportations are a hardest test for the US Law State

The government of US President Donald Trump is increasingly in trouble in the event of the accidentally deported migrant to El Salvador. While the democratic US senator Chris Van Hollen personally campaigned for the return of the man on a trip to the Central American country, who is now sitting in a notorious prison, the Trump government had to take a defeat in court-she threatens criminal proceedings. At the same time, the White House tried to pull the public on his side with a media -effective appearance.

The deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia comes from El Salvador and, according to US media, had illegally entered the USA in 2012 on the run from gang violence. Although his asylum application was rejected in 2019, he received protection against deportation for impending persecution. Nevertheless, the 29 -year -old family man was arrested in mid -March in the state of Maryland – which the Senator van Hollen represents in the Senate – and deported shortly afterwards. The US government initially spoke of an “administrative mistake”, but at the same time confirmed the accusation that he himself was a member of the notorious gang MS-13. Abegos lawyers deny that.

A federal judge has ordered that the Trump government has to bring the man back. In the meantime, the case ended up with the Supreme Court of the United States. Since then there has been legal tits about what should continue.

Democrat van Hollen spoke to the Salvadorian Vice President during his visit to El Salvador. However, he explained that a personal meeting or even a telephone conversation with Abrego Garcia was not made possible. Previously, Trump’s Minister of Homeland Protection Kristi Noem had visited prison and posed in front of the cells where prisoners are sitting.

Riley Moore’s Republican Congressman also received access. A photo that he himself published on X shows him with a high thumb in front of a prison cell. Van Hollen emphasized that he did not want a prison tour, but only a conversation with the detained.

“If you listen to President Trump and the Trump government, you might think that US courts have noticed that Mr. Abrego Garcia belongs to MS-13, but that’s not the case,” said van Hollen in front of reporters in El Salvador. He threw Trump, Minister of Justice Pam Bondi and Vice President JD Vance in this case.

The White House spontaneously announced a press appearance with a “guest of honor” in the middle of the heated debate, but did not reveal who is coming. The mother of a woman killed in the state of Maryland finally came in front of the cameras. She had been brutally murdered by a man from El Salvador who had traveled to the USA. The case has nothing to do with the deportation of Abrego Garcia, only the country of origin of the perpetrator and Maryland serve as a setting.

The White House has answered questions about the legality of deportation for days with reference to the brutal murder of the jogger and tries to present the media and democrats as empathy.

“This is the kind of criminals that President Trump wants to remove from our country,” said the completely dissolved mother in the briefing room of the White House in front of journalists and described the terrible act in detail. She complained about Senator Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador at tax costs “to bring back someone who is not even an American citizen”. After her appearance, silence was in the briefing room. Trump’s spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt hugged the mother, the two left the podium quickly.

“It is hideous (…) that so much time was spent on reporting about this alleged human retailer and this gang member,” said Leavitt about Abrego Garcia at the beginning of the week. The terrible murder of women from Maryland, on the other hand, is not considered.

Now she emphasized that Abrego Garcia was an “illegal foreigner, member of the MS-13 gang and foreign terrorist who was deported to his home country”. She quoted from court documents that Abrego Garcia had had a larger amount of cash and drugs with herself when he was arrested and had been arrested together with two alleged gang members. In addition, there have been allegations of domestic violence against him in the past.

The woman affected – his wife – then publicly defended Abrego Garcia against the allegations. Van Hollen also drew a completely different picture during his visit to El Salvador. “There is no evidence that he has committed a criminal offense, and the United States also did not provide any evidence,” said the Democrat. That is why he had made it clear to the Salvadorian Vice President that the Trump government “obviously violated American dishes”-and questioned how El Salvador could continue to adhere to the detention under these circumstances.

The case stands for a broader debate about the procedure of the US government in the event of deportation-especially in connection with two controversial deportation flights of around 200 people in mid-March, among which was also Abrego Garcia. The US government has started to deport migrants-especially from Venezuela-to El Salvador, where they are housed in the high-security prison called Cecot. In return, Washington pays the Central American country a million sum.

The legality of these transfers is controversial. While the US government speaks of severe criminals that they have brought out of the country, research by several US media-including the “New York Times”-is causing doubts about the supposedly criminal past of those affected. Trump now complained about legal requirements that the deported should not be considered “as a group”, but that each case had to be checked individually. It would take a hundred years that the courts are completely “out of control,” said the Republican.

Critics such as van Hollen accuse the Trump government to overlook judicial orders. Observers fear a constitutional crisis. The decision of a judge in the US capital Washington now hit a similar notch. Judge James Boasberg came to the conclusion that Trump’s government generally intentionally violated his arrangement with deportation to El Slavador.

A few weeks ago, he had ordered the deportations to stop for the time being as long as the legal basis for this was still examined in court. The planes – including the one with Abrego Garcia – lifted off. Now Boasberg said that there was a sufficient suspicion for possible criminal proceedings for disregarding the court against members of the government. Trump’s government now has the opportunity to explain itself, it said. If this does not happen, the court will hand over the case to the prosecutor’s case, Boasberg announced.
