Washington (AP) – The statement of the Trump administration that he can do nothing to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador prison and return it to the United States, “said a federal court of appeal on Thursday in a scathing decision in favor of the man in Maryland.
A panel of three judges of the 4th Circuit Court of Apouals in the United States unanimously refused to suspend the decision of a judge to order the testimony under oath by the officials of the administration of Trump to determine if they compared to his investigation to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia.
The panel said that the government of republican president Donald Trump “says the right to hide residents of this country in foreign prisons without the appearance of a regular procedure which is the foundation of our constitutional order.”
“In addition, he essentially claims that because he got rid of the guard that there is nothing that could be done. This should be shocking not only for the judges, but also for the intuitive sense of freedom that the Americans distant from the courthouses are always expensive,” they wrote.
The Ministry of Justice appealed after the American district judge Paula Xinis ordered the testimony under oath on Tuesday by at least four officials who work for American immigration and the application of customs, the Ministry of Internal Security and the State Department.
The 4th Panel circuit unanimously rejected the request of the government of suspension of the Xinis order during its appeal. His opinion indicates that the executive and judicial branches of the federal government “are too close to grinding irrevocably against each other in a conflict which promises to decrease both”.
“This is a losing proposal all around,” they wrote. The judiciary will lose many of the constant intimateness of his illegitimacy, to which, by custom and detachment, we can only answer sparingly. The executive will lose a lot from a public perception of its anarchy and all its contagions which result from it. »»
