Supreme Court says Trump administration must work to bring back mistakenly deported Maryland man​

By MARK SHERMAN
Updated 7:44 PM CDT, April 10, 2025

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday said the Trump administration must work to bring back a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to prison in El Salvador, rejecting the administration’s emergency appeal.

The court acted in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen who had an immigration court order preventing his deportation to his native country over fears he would face persecution from local gangs.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis had ordered Abrego Garcia, now being held in a notorious Salvadoran prison, returned to the United States by midnight Monday.

“The order properly requires the Government to ‘facilitate’ Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador,” the court said in an unsigned order with no noted dissents.

It comes after a string of rulings on the court’s emergency docket where the conservative majority has at least partially sided with Trump amid a wave of lower court orders slowing the president’s sweeping agenda.

In Thursday’s case, Chief Justice John Roberts had already pushed back Xinis’ deadline. The justices also said that her order must now be clarified to make sure it doesn’t intrude into executive branch power over foreign affairs, since Abrego Garcia is being held abroad. The court said the Trump administration should also be prepared to share what steps it has taken to try to get him back — and what more it could potentially do. ...

Hundreds of school districts around the U.S. may have to abandon plans to acquire electric buses after the EPA froze the latest round of money that was part of President Biden’s infrastructure law. The electric buses would replace diesel-burning buses that are particularly unhealthy for the children who ride them. The buses would also would save districts on fuel costs. About 500 districts nationwide are in limbo waiting on around $1 billion to cover more than 3,400 electric buses.
