Man mistakenly deported to El Salvador doesn't need to be back in U.S. tonight, Supreme Court rules
The United States does not have to return a Maryland man who was accidentally deported to a high-security prison in El Salvador to U.S. soil by midnight, the Supreme Court ruled Monday in an administrative stay that temporarily pauses a judge's previous order.
The United States does not have to return a Maryland man who was accidentally deported to a high-security prison in El Salvador to U.S. soil by midnight, the Supreme Court ruled Monday in an administrative stay that temporarily pauses a judge's previous order.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday morning denied the administration's request for a stay of a judge's order demanding that Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a legal resident protected from deportation by a 2019 court order who has lived in the United States since 2011 — be returned to the country by 11:59 p.m. Monday.
The Supreme Court then issued an administrative stay Monday afternoon, with a request that Abrego Garcia’s team file a response by 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Abrego Garcia was deported March 15 in what the Trump administration described as an “administrative error.“
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis of Maryland issued the return order Friday, calling Abrego Garcia's deportation unlawful.
