"This was an illegal act," U.S. Federal District Judge Paula Xinis told Justice Department lawyers at a federal court hearing in Greenbelt, Maryland about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who lived in the U.S. legally and had a work permit. Abrego Garcia was arrested and deported last month — despite having been granted protection by an immigration judge in 2019 that should have prevented him from being deported to El Salvador.

Judge Xinis ordered the government to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 7. She said keeping him in El Salvador constitutes irreparable harm.

"From the moment he was seized, it was unconstitutional," Judge Xinis said during the hearing. "If there isn't a document, a warrant, a statement of probable cause, then there is no basis to have seized him in the first place. That's how I'm looking at it," the judge said.

Uh huh

Trump admin already made it crystal clear that they can just ignore judge orders. Best they will do is returning s different random person and claim this is the guy.

But will they comply?

This is an illegal act. It should be an arrestable crime. Trump administration needs to be held accountable and serve time for malpractice and negligence.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah and the people who were involved in physically carrying out the orders should also be charged.

Qualified immunity means law enforcement can knowingly violate your civil rights and not get in any trouble at all

not "mistakenly", illegally!

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 83 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

If it's an illegal act, then let's arrest some of the people who did it.

I wonder what will happen when the trump admin claims they can't.

Illegal rendition and kidnapping, not deportation.

Human trafficking. No due process.
