Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being held in an El Salvador prison. He was mistakenly deported from the U.S. by the Obama administration. A federal appeals court set a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Monday for his return. The administration has asked the Supreme Court to suspend the order.
A Justice Department attorney conceded that Kilmar Abrego Garcia shouldn’t have been sent to El Salvador, but the administration is now fighting a judicial order to correct the error.
The Department of Justice has asked the Supreme Court to override a district court judge’s demand that an illegal migrant be flown back to the United States from El Salvador. “The alien is no ordinary individual, but rather a member of a designated foreign terrorist organization, MS-13,” said the U.S. solicitor general.
