President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and grant an emergency stay of the judge’s order to return alleged MS-13 gang member Abrego Garcia to the United States.

Last Friday US District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Maryland, Paula Xinis ordered the Trump Administration to return an alleged MS-13 gang member to the United States after he was deported to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.

Judge Xinis ordered the Salvadoran gang member to be returned by Monday at midnight.

On Sunday Judge Xinis denied the Trump Administration’s request to lift her order demanding the return of alleged El Salvadoran MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego to the United States.

The Trump Administration took issue with Judge Xinis’ broad order and condensed timeline it its emergency application to the Supreme Court.

“The Constitution vests the President with control over foreign negotiations so that the United States speaks with one voice, not so that the President’s central Article II prerogatives can give way to district-court diplomacy. If this precedent stands, other district courts could order the United States to successfully negotiate the return of other removed aliens anywhere in the world by close of business. Under that logic, district courts would effectively have extraterritorial jurisdiction over the United States’ diplomatic relations with the whole world,” Solicitor General John Sauer argued in his emergency application to the Supreme Court.

John Sauer also said the US does not control El Salvador and therefore “cannot compel El Salvador to follow a federal judge’s bidding.”

El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele previously mocked Judge Xinis’ order.

3:54 PM · Apr 4, 2025

The Trump Admin appealed Judge Xinis’ order and later Sunday the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals demanded a response from the attorneys for the deported El Salvadoran.

On Monday, the Fourth Circuit denied the Trump Administration’s effort to stop the return of Abrego.

According to the immigration order, Abrego can be removed from the United States, he just could not be sent to El Salvador.

The three-judge panel: Stephanie Thacker (Obama), Harvie Wilkinson (Reagan), and Robert King (Clinton) unanimously ruled against Trump and blasted the DOJ for suspending the immigration lawyer.
