By the way—

The SCOTUS order came just hours after the Trump Admin asked Supreme Court to block the district court’s order to get the migrant they deported by “mistake” back.

Mr. Garcia had legally protected status that had been given to him as a result of another court case, so he was not supposed to be deported because he could be in danger if he went back to El Salvador.

Chief Justice Roberts argued that if the “precedent” stood, “district courts would effectively have extraterritorial jurisdiction over the United States' diplomatic relations with the whole world."

Lawyers for Mr. Garcia countered that “their client ‘sits in a foreign prison solely at the behest of the United States, as the product of a Kafkaesque mistake.’”

Predictably #SCOTUS on Monday temporarily halted a judge's order requiring #Trump's admin to return by the end of the day #KilmarAbregoGarcia, Salvadoran man who the government has acknowledged was deported in error to #ElSalvador.

Chief Justice #JohnRoberts paused the order by Judge Paula Xinis that the admin return Abrego Garcia, in response to a lawsuit filed by the man & his family challenging the legality of his #deportation.

Ein weiterer Verdacht scheint sich zu erhärten:
Eine CBS-Recherche zeigt: 75 % der von Trump deportierten Venezolaner nach El Salvador haben laut Dokumenten keine nachweisbaren Vorstrafen – weder in den USA noch international. 22 % haben meist kleinere Delikte wie Diebstahl begangen, nur eine Minderheit wird schwerer Verbrechen beschuldigt. Das US-Heimatschutzministerium verteidigt die Inhaftierungen dennoch mit dem Hinweis, viele seien Terroristen – nur eben ohne US-Strafregister.

Four foreign activists face #deportation from #Germany after Berlin #university sit-in

Story by Tamsin Paternoster, April 4, 2025

Excerpt: "The university's general students' committee said in October that the university had failed to 'capture the complexity of events.' The committee alleges that the police presence on-site was 'excessive' and that the law enforcement responded violently to the protesters in the broader context of suppressing similar demonstrations."

Judge to #TrumpAdministration: "This was an illegal act," Xinis said of DHS Secretary #KristiNoem's attack on #AbregoGarcia's rights, including his #deportation and imprisonment.

"Defendants seized Abrego Garcia without any lawful authority; held him in three separate domestic detention centers without legal basis; failed to present him to any #ImmigrationHistory judge or officer; and forcibly transported him to #ElSalvador." commondreams.org/news/el-salva
