The Supreme Court has granted a request by the Trump administration to temporarily block a lower court order requiring that a deported Salvadorian man be returned to the US.

Chief Justice John Roberts agreed to pause a ruling that Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be brought back from El Salvador by midnight on Monday.

The government has said Mr Garcia was deported on 15 March due to an "administrative error", although they also allege he is a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyer denies.

There are more, it's just too depressing. 5 out of 9 SCOTUS seem to have taken bribes and are POS:

they need time to make up a story, so nobody they like gets the blame. i wouldn't be surprised, if they already tossed them in the woodchipper

Yeah, he's probably dead. We have to keep his story in the news if we can.

If the pause becomes permanent we are now in a situation where the courts have set precedent allowing the Trump administration to deport anyone without due process. At that point I don't think anyone is safe. Doesn't matter how many generations of citizens you come from the court has said you can be kicked out and no call for following the law will be heard.

Evil is the lack of empathy.

This is Evil. Capital "E," Biblical Evil.
