The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Maryland judge's order for the Trump administration to facilitate the return of deported MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The unanimous decision reinforces a recent Supreme Court directive. Abrego Garcia, deported to El Salvador, claims his return poses a risk due to gang violence. The ruling challenges the Trump administration's immigration policies, emphasizing the need for due process and correct adherence to constitutional foundations while the appeal moves forward.
We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court's recent decision.
The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order.
An October 2019 immigration court ruling protected Abrego Garcia from being sent back to his native country over concerns he could be targeted by the gang Barrio 18.
Chief Judge Harvie Wilkinson's ruling emphasizes that the federal appeals court will uphold the district judge's order while the government's appeal is processed.
