The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to halt lower court rulings demanding the return of a Salvadoran man deported under contentious circumstances. Kilmar Abrego Garcia was ordered back to the U.S. following a Maryland federal judge’s ruling due to what the government has classified as an "administrative error." However, the administration contends that Garcia, who is alleged to have ties with the MS-13 gang—claims his family vehemently denies—should not be jeopardized by the ruling.

In a controversial move, the Trump administration petitions the Supreme Court regarding a deportation case involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
After the appeals court upheld the order, the Trump administration launched an emergency application to the Supreme Court, asserting that the Maryland judge overstepped jurisdiction and that U.S. authorities cannot mandate actions from the sovereign nation of El Salvador. U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer emphasized in the filing that control over foreign diplomacy lies with the president and not federal courts. Additionally, he pointed out that terrorist removal is a responsibility of the executive branch.
Garcia was initially granted deportation protection in 2019, but his status has since been clouded by this latest development amidst a heated national immigration debate. The outcomes of this case could have broader implications for future deportation cases involving claims against various administrative errors and gang affiliations.
