The judge says his removal was illegal.
A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to return a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis asked an attorney from the Department of Justice multiple questions during a hearing on April 4. DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni couldn’t tell Xinis what authority the man—Kilmar Abrego Garcia—was arrested under.
Xinis said Abrego Garcia’s removal was an illegal act.
The White House has said that Abrego Garcia, 29, is an MS-13 gang member and that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction over the matter because the Salvadoran national is no longer in the United States.
