It Is Happening Every Day, Every Where
The Trump administration’s aggressive push to deport migrants has run up against resistance from the judiciary.
It remained unclear whether the diplomatic effort was a genuine bid by the White House to address the plight of the immigrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
Scholars say that the Trump administration is now flirting with lawless defiance of court orders, a path with an uncertain end.
The Justice Department’s latest legal filing asserted that courts cannot direct President Trump’s foreign policy by forcing the return of a man unlawfully sent to a Salvadoran prison.
Clashes — both inside the courtroom and over the department’s refusal to comply with her demand for a road map to release Mr. Abrego Garcia — left open the possibility of a standoff in the future.
A trial judge had ordered the Trump administration to take steps to return the migrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, from a notorious prison in El Salvador.
The government said Judge Paula Xinis, who ordered that the administration return the migrant, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, by Monday, had engaged in “district-court diplomacy.”
