The Application
History
Abrego Garcia possessed a valid 2019 withholding-of-removal order barring removal to El Salvador, yet the Trump administration deported him there; Judge Xinis found this violated both the prior order and due process rights.
The Conclusion
The court ordered the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return to the United States, asserting judicial power to enforce withholding orders and remedy unlawful deportations despite separation-of-powers tensions with the executive branch.
