The Trump administration is actively contesting a federal court order related to the deportation case of Salvadoran migrant Abrego García. The Department of Justice filed a 13-page motion arguing that the Maryland federal court lacks jurisdiction over the case. Concurrently, the administration requested a 30-day extension, moving the response deadline from May 30 to June 26, citing strain from expedited discovery demands. The case has drawn attention due to a federal judge's ruling that struck down one of President Trump's executive orders, notably using 26 exclamation points in the written decision to emphasize the court's position. The judge also reiterated an order for the return of a Guatemalan deportee who was removed without due process. The Trump administration maintains that it is complying with court orders despite challenges to judicial jurisdiction and asserts its Article II authority. Additionally, a federal judge approved the Trump administration’s move to dismiss the MPD consent decree, signaling ongoing judicial interactions with the administration's policies.
