Supreme Court's Role in Immigration Cases
The recent Supreme Court ruling required the government to facilitate the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, highlighting the tension between the judiciary and the Trump administration. The White House contends that Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador and is currently imprisoned there due to an error, refusing to bring him back despite the court's directive. This situation underscores the potential for a constitutional crisis if the administration disregards the Supreme Court's decision. The case also brings critical attention to the administration's broader immigration policies and the implications of its refusal to comply with judicial rulings.
