Federal Judge Orders Return of Mistakenly Deported Maryland Man as Government Appeals
A federal judge ordered the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but the government argues this order exceeds judicial authority.
Overview
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is to be returned by Monday, per a ruling by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis. Judge Xinis condemned the government’s actions as unlawful, emphasizing there was no basis for Garcia's detention. Despite the ruling, Justice Department attorneys claimed they lack the authority to enforce such a judicial order and appealed to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for a stay. Garcia's incorrect deportation, highlighted as an 'administrative error,' has ignited public outrage and fears regarding immigration policy and detainee rights.
