Trump Administration Defies Court, Blocks Deportation Return
Tap title to read story
The Trump administration is resisting efforts to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old wrongly deported to El Salvador. Despite a Supreme Court ruling mandating his return, the administration claims a lack of jurisdiction, citing El Salvador's sovereignty. A statement from the State Department declared Abrego Garcia "alive and secure" in El Salvador, while President Trump asserted El Salvador holds sole custody. This follows a missed deadline to provide details on Garcia's return, prompting a contempt of court motion from Garcia's lawyers. The administration's actions contradict Trump's previous statements about his ability to facilitate the return.
