The Supreme Court postponed the midnight deadline for Trump’s administration to improve the wrong Maryland deportation
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts on Monday issued a temporary administrative inpatient period – Delaying the deadline for the government to return the Maryland who was incorrectly deported to the US – gave the court more time to consider the arguments presented by both parties.
Trump’s government has asked the Supreme Court for emergency intervention in the Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia case, which by the government – with its own recognition – was transferred to El Salvador accidentally.
Roberts did not explain the decision. Remain administrative is not a verdict about the benefits in any way and does not show one or another way of how the court will eventually decide.
The Supreme Court asked for a response to Trump’s request from Garcia’s lawyer at 17:00 on Tuesday.

In the previous submission Monday, Trump’s administrative lawyer General D. John Sauer argued that the federal court could not order a president to be involved in foreign diplomacy, which according to him was implicitly involved in the potential return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, which was alleged by Trump’s administration was a gang member.
“The constitution accuses the president, not a federal district court, with foreign diplomacy behavior and protecting the nation against foreign terrorists, including by influencing their removal,” Sauer wrote. “And this order makes the United States fail. The United States cannot guarantee the success of sensitive international negotiations in advance, at least when the court imposes an unreasonable compressed time deadline which makes it very difficult to negotiate the granting of foreign relations.”
Abrego Garcia, despite protecting the legal status, was sent to the famous Mega-Prison Cecot in El Salvador following what the government said was “administrative mistakes.”
In March, Abrego Garcia, whose wife was a US citizen and who had a 5 -year -old child, was stopped by an immigration and customs -offer who “told him that immigration status had changed,” according to his lawyer. He was detained and then transferred to the detention center in Texas before being sent to El Salvador.
Abrego Garcia entered the United States in 2011 when he was 16 years old to escape the violence of gangs in El Salvador, according to his lawyer. Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, a lawyer who represented Abrego Garcia, said that last week his client was not a MS-13 member, as alleged by the government, but said it was a matter of immigration judges to be handled.
The appeal to the Supreme Court came Monday morning, right before the US Appeal Court for the 4th circuit reiterated the Friday decision by the US District Judge Paula Xinis that Abrego Garcia had to be returned on Monday at 11:59 at night ET.

The 4th Circuit appeal court rejected Trump’s administrative emergency motion to block orders to return Abrego Garcia to the US
In a round decision, the panel of three judges approved Xinis’s orders which require the government “to facilitate and make a return [Abrego Garcia] By the United States no later than 11:59 at night on Monday, April 7, 2025, “should not stay.
“The United States government does not have the legal authority to seize someone who is legally present in the United States outside the road and move it from the country without legal proceedings,” the judges said. “The opinion of the government is the opposite, and its argument that the federal court is helpless for interference, does not make sense.”
US Circuit Judge Jamie Wilkinson, who was appointed by Ronald Reagan, said that according to his opinion that “There is no question that the government is messing up here.”
“If it’s really a mistake, people will also expect the government to do what can fix it,” Wilkinson said. “Most of us try to cancel, as far as we can, the mistakes we have made. But, to my knowledge, the government has not made efforts here.”
In the agreed opinion, the US Circuit judge Robert King and the US Circuit Judge Stephanie Thacker said that if the government wanted to prove that Maryland men sent to El Salvador were “prominent members” from MS-13, they had “many opportunities to do it,” but not “bother trying to try.”
“The government does not try to show that Abrego Garcia, in reality, is a member of any gang,” said King and Thacker.
