White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday, they mocked a court decision that instructed the Trump administration to enable the return of an individual who had been deported.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis directed the administration to secure the liberation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia From the well-known CECOT prison in El Salvador, they aim to extradite him back to the U.S. Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador who was arrested In Baltimore on March 12, after quitting his job as a sheet metal worker to collect his five-year-old child, this incident occurred. It’s been claimed by the government that Abrego Garcia is affiliated with the MS-13 gang. However, legal representatives of U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement stated in a court document on Monday that Abrego Garcia's deportation resulted from "an administrative mistake."
Abrego Garcia was among over 260 international individuals apprehended in the U.S. and expelled to El Salvador for incarceration. The majority of these individuals were also sent away. deported were individuals from Venezuela with no obvious ties to the Central American nation. It appears that none of those detained were afforded proper legal proceedings.
"The document shows that Abrego Garcia was detained in Maryland without any legitimate grounds...and was deported to El Salvador without additional proceedings or lawful justification," Xinis stated in her notes. order following his characterization of the deportation as "an unlawful action."
In reaction, Leavitt strongly criticized the decision and rejected the notion that the judge had any legitimate grounds for making such a ruling.
"We have no knowledge of the judge possessing jurisdiction or authority over the nation of El Salvador," stated Leavitt.
White House adviser Stephen Miller teased Xinis on X, suggesting that she "believes herself to be the president of El Salvador."
Regarding that, the President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele also mocked the judge’s ruling.
The White House has indicated that the administration thinks that after an individual is deported from the U.S., courts have no power to mandate their reinstatement—even for cases where the government admits they were wrongly removed. It remains uncertain whether the administration feels this applies equally to American citizens who are expelled.
