Court Rebukes Trump Over Wrongful Deportation

A federal appeals court has strongly criticized the Trump administration for refusing to comply with court orders to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident mistakenly deported to El Salvador. The rebuke, led by Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, described the administration's defiance as 'shocking' and threatening to the rule of law. Despite a unanimous Supreme Court order requiring action, Trump officials continue to resist Garcia's return, asserting without substantive evidence that he is a gang member, a claim disputed by his attorneys and family. Sebastian Gorka, the White House Senior Director for Counterterrorism, has intensified rhetoric by suggesting that critics of the administration's deportation policies are 'aiding and abetting' criminals and terrorists. Rights advocates and legal experts have condemned the administration's actions as violations of due process, judicial authority, and constitutional protections. The case has ignited a national debate over immigration, executive power, and the limits of dissent.
