Overview

• The Supreme Court has temporarily barred the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, citing the need for adequate notice and judicial review.
• Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident mistakenly deported to El Salvador, remains detained despite court orders for his return, intensifying a diplomatic standoff.
• Senator Chris Van Hollen has accused the Trump administration of defying court mandates and warned of a constitutional crisis over due process violations.
• The administration continues to allege Abrego Garcia’s ties to MS-13, though courts have found no evidence to support this claim, as legal battles over his status persist.
• Republican Senator John Kennedy criticized the deportation as a 'screw up,' while the White House maintains it lacks authority to compel El Salvador to release Abrego Garcia.
