A federal judge has condemned the U.S. government's deportation of Maryland resident Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to El Salvador as "wholly lawless," ordering his return to the United States. The case has highlighted tensions between the Trump administration and the judicial branch, particularly due to Garcia's deportation despite a previous immigration judge's order prohibiting his removal due to the risk of persecution by local gangs. As the deadline for compliance with the court order approaches, the situation underscores broader concerns about immigration policy enforcement and the balance of power between government branches.
