A federal appeals court on Thursday denied the Trump administration<\/a>‘s emergency request to block a judge\u2019s order requiring the U.S. government to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador with a violent criminal history and alleged gang ties, who was deported to the El Salvadoran mega prison “Terrorism Confinement Center” (CECOT) last month.<\/p>\n

The ruling allows the lower court\u2019s order to move forward for now.<\/p>\n

The case involves Garcia, a “Maryland man” who was deported but whose return was ordered by a district judge after a recent Supreme Court decision. The Department of Justice<\/a> (DOJ) asked the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to lift a judge’s order to “facilitate” Garcia’s return from CECOT, but the court Thursday rejected the request.<\/p>\n

The three-judge panel included Judge Harvie Wilkinson, appointed by President Ronald Reagan, along with Judges Robert King and Stephanie Thacker, appointed by Presidents Clinton and Obama, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the court\u2019s opinion, Wilkinson repeatedly referred to Garcia as a “resident,” even though Garcia is not a lawful U.S. resident.<\/p>\n

“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order,” Wilkinson wrote.<\/p>\n

“This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.”<\/p>\n

Court documents and police records show Garcia has a history of domestic violence, including repeated physical abuse against his wife. The Department of Homeland Security<\/a> (DHS) has also identified him as a member of the MS-13 gang, using the street name “Chele.”<\/p>\n

The court said the DOJ\u2019s request was “extraordinary and premature” and that it would not interfere with the district judge\u2019s efforts to carry out the Supreme Court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Garcia would not be allowed back into the U.S. unless El Salvador decided otherwise. “He is not coming back to our country.”<\/p>\n

The DOJf Justice did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
