The court acted in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen who had an immigration court order preventing his deportation to his native country over fears he would face persecution from local gangs.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis had ordered Abrego Garcia returned to the United States by midnight Monday.
바카라 게임 웹사이트The order properly requires the Government to 바카라 게임 웹사이트facilitate바카라 게임 웹사이트 Abrego Garcia바카라 게임 웹사이트s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador,바카라 게임 웹사이트 the court said in an unsigned order with no noted dissents.
It comes after a string of rulings on the court's emergency docket where the conservative majority has at least partially sided with Trump amid a wave of lower court orders slowing the president's sweeping agenda.
In Thursday's case, Chief Justice John Roberts had already pushed back Xinis' deadline. The justices also said that her order must now be clarified to make sure it doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t intrude into executive branch power over foreign affairs, since Abrego Garcia is being held abroad. The court said the Trump administration should also be prepared to share what steps it has taken to try to get him back 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and what more it could potentially do.
The administration claims Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, though he has never been charged with or convicted of a crime. His attorneys said there is no evidence he was in MS-13.
The administration has conceded that it made a mistake in sending him to El Salvador, but argued that it no longer could do anything about it.

The court바카라 게임 웹사이트s liberal justices said the administration should have hastened to correct 바카라 게임 웹사이트its egregious error바카라 게임 웹사이트 and was 바카라 게임 웹사이트plainly wrong바카라 게임 웹사이트 to suggest it could not bring him home.
바카라 게임 웹사이트The Government바카라 게임 웹사이트s argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U. S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, joined by her two colleagues.
Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, said the ordeal has been an 바카라 게임 웹사이트emotional rollercoaster바카라 게임 웹사이트 for their family and the entire community.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I am anxiously waiting for Kilmar to be here in my arms, and in our home putting our children to bed, knowing this nightmare is almost at its end. I will continue fighting until my husband is home,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.

In the district court, Xinis wrote that the decision to arrest Abrego Garcia and send him to El Salvador appears to be 바카라 게임 웹사이트wholly lawless.바카라 게임 웹사이트 There is little to no evidence to support a 바카라 게임 웹사이트vague, uncorroborated바카라 게임 웹사이트 allegation that was once in the MS-13 street gang, Xinis wrote.

He had a permit from the Homeland Security Department to legally work in the U.S. and was a sheet metal apprentice pursuing a journeyman license, his attorney said. His wife is a U.S. citizen.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant DHS secretary for public affairs, said Thursday that the justices' order for clarification from the lower court was a win for the administration. 바카라 게임 웹사이트We look forward to continuing to advance our position in this case,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.
A Justice Department spokesman said the court had 바카라 게임 웹사이트directly noted the deference owed to the Executive Branch바카라 게임 웹사이트 in foreign affairs.
An immigration judge had previously barred the U.S. from deporting Abrego Garcia to El Salvador in 2019, finding that he faced likely persecution by local gangs.
A Justice Department lawyer conceded in a court hearing that Abrego Garcia should not have been deported. Attorney General Pam Bondi later removed the lawyer, Erez Reuveni, from the case and placed him on leave.
