The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national living in Maryland, from an El Salvador prison.
Abrego Garcia, 29, was deported to the El Salvadoran mega-prison last month for being an alleged MS-13 gang member, however, his attorneys maintain he does not have any gang ties. Garcia’s wrongful deportation has triggered an onslaught of criticisms from both sides of the aisle. (RELATED: IRS, DHS Reach Game-Changing Agreement For Trump Immigration Agenda)
The Supreme Court sided with U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis who initially ordered federal officials to coordinate Garcia’s return back to Maryland in a Monday order, calling his deportation “wholly unlawful.”
Fox News reports:
“On March 15, 2025, the United States removed Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia from the United States to El Salvador, where he is currently detained in the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT),” the order states. “The United States acknowledges that Abrego Garcia was subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador, and that the removal to El Salvador was therefore illegal.”
Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she “would have declined to intervene in this litigation and denied the application in full.”
“Nevertheless, I agree with the Court’s order that the proper remedy is to provide Abrego Garcia with all the processes to which he would have been entitled had he not been unlawfully removed to El Salvador,” Sotomayor wrote. “That means the Government must comply with its obligation to provide Abrego Garcia with ‘due process of law,’ including notice and an opportunity to be heard, in any future proceedings.”
The Justice Department responded to the order in a statement to Fox News in a statement.
“As the Supreme Court correctly recognized, it is the exclusive prerogative of the President to conduct foreign affairs,” the statement says. “By directly noting the deference owed to the Executive Branch, this ruling once again illustrates that activist judges do not have the jurisdiction to seize control of the President’s authority to conduct foreign policy.”
Why? He is here illegally and is from El Salvador. He is a member of a gang that is illegal there in El Salvador. If he wanted to be considered for Citizenship he should have stopped in the US embassy in the first country he came to and applied for status through that embassy or consulate and stayed right there until he got word to move to the US. He was here IN COMMISSION OF A CRIME THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS HERE!! He is not a Citizen. The moment he entered our Country he was a criminal! The only dur process there should be is deportation. This type of lawfare is MADNESS as bad as the billions of dollars that have been spent on the illegals and in a multitude of other things that have been financed throughout the world. Many of these are thought to have had copious amounts of money that have come back to to the US in various ways now found in the pockets of certain people here in the US? Hopefully DOGE will track those money trails so that money can be placed back in the treasury and those unlawfully receiving that money can be put where they belong.
I agree with Nunya 100%! This fellow is a registered member of a terrorist group and an illegal alien! He has no right to due process! He
is not an American citizen, but he is an illegal alien and should be deported back to his country! Shame on the Supreme Court Justices that waste tax payers money on returning criminals back to our country! Why hasn’t the Republican Leadership in Congress impeached these anti-American rogue Judges? Justice Roberts and the other Justices who support this criminal should be removed from office! They are violating the US Constitution by attempting to interfere with President Trump’s ability to deal with foreign policy! Shame on them! How would they like it, if the President were to demand to overturn their decision in Court matters! The Supreme Court Justices are over stepping their authority! They have No authority to dictate foreign policy and oppose the President’s authority in running foreign policy! Impeach these rogue Judges now, and this includes those on the US Supreme Court! These rogue Judges are guilty of treason when they demand criminals to be brought back into our country! This is a threat to the National Security of the American citizens! Justice Roberts is also guilty of corruption and fraud when he tells the President that he has to send US taxpayers money to terrorist groups in the Middle East!
DOGE determined that 2 billion dollars were ear-marked for terrorists in the Middle East, and attempted to stop this transfer of funds, but John Roberts (by a traitorous act) demanded that the 2 billion dollars be sent to the terrorists! This action alone is an act of treason! John Roberts and other rogue Judges need to be removed from office immediately! enuf said for now! -JC-
