(Bloomberg) – The federal judge gave the government until the end of Monday to return the man to the US after he said he accidentally sent him to prison in Salvador in a “administrative mistake”.
On Friday, US district judge Paul Xinis ordered the government to force Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia back from the notorious terrorism of El Salvador terrorism after finding that it was removed from the US.
Xinis said that Abrabo Garcia was awarded to his native country in 2019. 12th March was illegally arrested and transferred to the Salvador without a proper legal process or justification by March 15, she said. The US justice Ministry says he is a member of the MS-13 gang and the danger to the community. His lawyer denies that Abbrego Garcia belongs to the gang and said he was a sheet.
The order comes in the middle of a tense distance between the government and another federal judge claiming that the US could consciously resist its directive to stop the deportations of the Venezuelans, according to which the Trump administration claims to be members of the gang. The conflict became particularly full after President Donald Trump attacked the judge in this case on the social media, called on the indictment and pulled the rebuke from the main judge of the Supreme Court.
While US people should not be “unauthorized” from the country, the US has a “strong public interest in the non -importance of violent multinational gangs to the country”, the government wrote this week in the Maryland Federal Court in the case of Abrego Garcia.
“The individual in question is a member of the MS-13 brutal gang,” TRICIA McLAUGHLIN said Friday. “Whether in Salvador or a detention facility in the US, it will be locked and outside the American streets.”
The Government filed a notice of appeal shortly after the order.
Abrego Garcia, whose wife and a small child are US citizens, sued the US after flying with more than 200 migrants on one of three aircraft to Salvador. Two aircraft carried the alleged members of the Venezuelan gang of Tren de Aragua deported under the Act on Extraterrestrial Hostility Laws of 1798, which caused the intensive legal struggle that the US Supreme Court agreed to review. Abrego Garcia was on the third level that was not influenced by this law, the government said.
The first two aircraft are the subject of conflict between the district judge of the US James Boasberg in Washington and government lawyers in this case.
The case of Maryland is Abrabo Garcia v. Noem, 25-CV-951, US District Court, District of Maryland (Greenbelt).
