#SCOTUS’ decision was unanimous. Additionally it suggests someone held overseas can still be given due process.
Ya think? Especially given that the #Trump admin is paying #ElSalvador to detain the *deportees*

There is going to be a whole lot of arguing about what "facilitate" means / entails.

#SCOTUS writes:

The order properly requires the Government to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador

#KilmarAbregoGarcia, a Salvadoran migrant who was living in Maryland & has had a work permit since 2019, was stopped & detained by #ICE officers on March 12 & questioned about his *alleged* gang affiliation. He was deported on March 15 on one of three high-profile #deportation flights to #ElSalvador that also included alleged Venezuelan gang members.

And here Karoline Leavitt, #Trump’s WhiteHouse propagandist, lies through her teeth about this when asked.

#SCOTUS’ decision was 5-4, with #AmyConeyBarrett joining the 3 Democrat appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge #Boasberg’s temporary restraining order #TRO in the #AlienEnemyAct cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through #habeas petitions.

In the #Trump admin’s #SCOTUS application, it refers to Abrego Garcia as an “enemy alien.”

The government has claimed that Garcia was removed under the #Immigration & Nationality Act, NOT the #AlienEnemiesAct.

The Trump admin has also claimed he’s a member of M13 which is NOT covered by the #AEA, only Tren de Aragua.

The admin appealed Judge Xinis’s order to the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which on Mon declined to intervene immediately & stay the lower court ruling.

So the #Trump admin asked #SCOTUS to intervene on an emergency basis [I think we’re in double digits now for Trump’s SCOTUS emergency applications].

The justices will soon decide whether to relieve the #Trump admin from the trial court’s order halting the expulsions. Whether the govt has complied w/the order isn’t directly before #SCOTUS. But whether the Court can trust the govt’s representations during such quickly unfolding litigation is—& the justices have every reason not to.

#MaksymChernyak, 1 of 3 people to die at the facility since last Oct, was brought to Krome on Feb 2 & taken to a hospital just 2 wks later, after he began vomiting & having seizures, acc/to #ICE. The #Miami-Dade County ME said he died of "Complications of Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage" (AKA a stroke).

Here is the document (exhibit 1, p.7) included in the court filing from the court’s website:
