Trump Administration Refuses Court Order to Return Illegally Deported Man

The Trump administration is defying court orders to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He was illegally deported to El Salvador. An appeals court rejected the administration's request to avoid compliance. The court stated the administration's arguments were 'shocking'. They said it would reduce the rule of law to lawlessness. Abrego Garcia fled gang violence in El Salvador in 2011. A judge previously granted him 'protection from removal'. The Supreme Court also directed the administration to 'facilitate' his return. The administration has refused to provide information on its efforts. The court also rejected the argument that Abrego Garcia is a member of MS-13. They stated he is still entitled to due process. The judges questioned why the government wouldn't correct its mistake.
