U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts paused a federal judge’s order that required the Trump administration to return an illegal alien who was deported to El Salvador.
In a court filing, Roberts wrote that an order from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an illegal migrant from El Salvador, be returned to the United States “no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2025,” was “hereby stayed pending” a further order from Roberts or from the Supreme Court.
“IT IS ORDERED that the April 4, 2025 order of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, case No. 8:25-cv 951, is hereby stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court,” Roberts wrote.
