A federal appeals court rebukes the Trump administration for its failure to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a US resident imprisoned in El Salvador. The 4th Circuit Court demands sworn testimony from officials regarding compliance with legal instructions. Judge Wilkinson highlights the need for the government to uphold the rule of law and express dismay about the administration’s claim it can abandon individuals without due process. Earlier, the Supreme Court instructed the Justice Department to expedite Garcia’s return, emphasizing legal obligations to uphold constitutional rights.
"This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time," Wilkinson wrote.
"The Trump administration's assertion is shocking, claiming it can stash away U.S. residents in foreign prisons without due process, violating foundational constitutional principles."
