Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday temporarily blocked a lower court order that would have required the Trump administration to return a Maryland man it mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
In a one-page order, Roberts stayed the April 4 ruling by a federal judge in Maryland that gave the administration until 11:59 p.m. Monday to “facilitate and effectuate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The chief justice’s order pauses that requirement “pending further order” and gives Abrego Garcia’s attorneys until 5 p.m. Tuesday to file a response.
