Tap title to read story
A federal appeals court rebuked the Trump administration for claiming inability to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvadoran prison, defying a Supreme Court order. The court refused to suspend a lower court's order for sworn testimony from administration officials regarding their compliance. The appeals court criticized the administration's assertion of a right to detain U.S. residents in foreign prisons without due process, deeming their position "shocking". The administration maintains a lack of authority to repatriate Abrego Garcia, despite acknowledging his wrongful deportation, and labeling him a terrorist—a claim his lawyers deny. The court's decision highlights a growing conflict between the executive and judicial branches.
