Washington (AP) -The Supreme Court said on Thursday that the Trump government needed to make the return of a Maryland man easier, which was incorrectly deported to El Salvador, and rejected the federal government's emergency room.
The court acted within the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorical citizen who had an immigration court resolution that prevented his deportation to his home country because of fears that he would pursue through local gangs.
The US district judge Paula Xinis had returned to the United States until midnight on Monday in a notorious Salvadorical prison. The highest judge John Roberts had asked Xini's order to provide the court time to weigh up the issue.
This period has now passed and the judges instructed the judge to make clear their command, to think about how the transfer could affect – especially the connection with El Salvador.
The High Court also said that the administration must be able to tell what steps it has already taken and what it could do.
The administration claims that Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, although he was never charged for crime or convicted of crime. His lawyers said there was no evidence that he was in MS-13.
The administration admitted that she made a mistake to send him to El Salvador, but argued that she couldn't do anything about it.
The court's liberal judges said that the federal government must have accelerated to “correct their outrageous mistakes”, and was “clearly wrong” to indicate that it couldn’t bring it home.
“The government's argument also implies that every person, including the US citizen, could deport and detain without legal consequence, provided that this can intervene in front of a court,” wrote justice Sonia Sotomayor, together along with her two colleagues.
In the district court, Xinis wrote that the choice to arrest Abrego Garcia and send him to El Salvador appears to be “completely” completely “. There is little to no evidence of a “vague, unconfirmed” claim that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was once within the MS-13-street gang, Xinis wrote.
The 29 -year -old Abrego Garcia was detained by immigration agents and deported within the last month.
He had approval from the homeland protection department to legally work within the United States and was a sheet metal apprentice who was pursuing a travel license, said his lawyer. His wife is a US citizen.
In 2019, an immigration judge banned the United States to deport Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, and located that he was probably persecuted by local gangs.
A lawyer of the Ministry of Justice admitted in a court hearing that Abego Garcia shouldn’t be deported. Attorney General Pam Bondi later removed the lawyer Erez Reuveni from the case and put him on vacation.
