The latest ruling in the Abrego Garcia case, explained | Vox

The Abrego Garcia Case

The article details the ongoing legal battle surrounding the deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, despite a court order preventing it. The Trump administration, after initially admitting an "administrative error", has refused to comply with orders facilitating his return to the US.

Court Rulings

The Supreme Court unanimously ordered the administration to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return. A lower court judge then ordered officials to explain their lack of compliance, which the administration appealed. An appeals court subsequently rejected the administration's arguments, stating their claims were "shocking".

Administration's Response and Future Outlook

The administration could appeal again to the Supreme Court, or comply with the rulings and work to return Abrego Garcia. However, the White House has publicly stated that Abrego Garcia "is never coming back", suggesting further defiance of court orders.

• The case highlights the conflict between the Trump administration and the judicial branch.
• The administration's actions raise concerns about respect for court orders.
• The outcome will depend on whether the administration complies or continues to defy court orders.
