- 司法部在法庭文件中称:“撤销禁令也有正当理由,因为法院的备忘录命令未能承认,法院自身此前关于禁止驱逐的禁令是阻碍请愿人(阿布雷戈·加西亚)及时被驱逐的唯一障碍。法院不能既设置阻碍以拖延驱逐从而延长拘留时间,又同时认定由此产生的延长拘留是不合法的。”
- 文件补充道:“本法院任何试图永久禁止政府行使将请愿人驱逐出美国的权力的行为,都直接违背既定的司法规范,是明显的法律错误。”
特朗普政府称阿布雷戈·加西亚是MS-13(萨尔瓦多黑帮)成员,一年前将其驱逐至他的祖国萨尔瓦多的一座监狱,但他于今年6月被送回美国,因2022年在田纳西州与一起交通拦截事件相关的人口走私指控面临审判,尽管政府最初称自己无权将其带回。
他的律师否认他是MS-13成员。

他于12月因特朗普政府未获得将其驱逐至第三国所需的最终驱逐通知而被从拘留中释放。
31岁的阿布雷戈·加西亚自去年3月以来成为全国移民辩论的焦点。当时,特朗普政府官员承认这是一个“行政错误”,违反2019年法院命令将其驱逐至萨尔瓦多。
最高法院后来裁定,政府必须采取行动将他带回美国。

他已就人口走私指控不认罪,并以报复性和选择性起诉为由寻求驳回指控。
2019年法院命令禁止将阿布雷戈·加西亚驱逐至萨尔瓦多,因为一名移民法官认定他面临一个曾威胁其家人的帮派的危险。他十几岁时非法移民到美国,一直处于美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)的监督之下。

上个月,美国联邦地区法官保拉·西尼丝同意将她之前阻止ICE立即重新拘留阿布雷戈·加西亚的紧急命令转换为其律师寻求的长期禁令救济形式。
她说,特朗普政府未能向法院提供任何“合理理由让其相信”他们计划在“可合理预见的未来”将阿布雷戈·加西亚驱逐至第三国。相反,她指出,他们“一次又一次地空威胁要将他驱逐到非洲国家,而这些国家根本没有同意接收他的真实可能性。”
阿布雷戈·加西亚表示愿意被送往哥斯达黎加,但代理移民和海关执法局局长托德·莱昂斯称他将被驱逐至利比里亚。
阿布雷戈·加西亚的律师12月表示,阿布雷戈愿意立即前往哥斯达黎加,而该国数月前已给予他庇护身份。

西尼丝法官12月称,政府“持续拒绝承认哥斯达黎加作为可行的驱逐选项,威胁要将阿布雷戈·加西亚送往从未同意接收他的非洲国家,并向法院歪曲利比里亚现在是阿布雷戈·加西亚唯一可用的国家,所有这些都表明,无论拘留他的背后目的是什么,都不是为了‘及时将其驱逐至第三国’这一基本目的。”
特朗普政府要求法官在4月17日前就其撤销禁令的请求做出裁决。

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday urged a judge to dissolve the injunction that keeps the Trump administration from detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia again so he can quickly be deported to Liberia.
“Dissolution is also warranted because the Court’s Memorandum Order failed to acknowledge that the Court’s own prior injunction against removal is the sole impediment to Petitioner’s prompt removal,” the DOJ wrote in a court filing obtained by Fox News Digital. “The Court cannot both impose the impediment that delays removal and consequently prolongs detention and, at the same time, hold that the resulting detention is impermissibly prolonged.”
It added, “Any attempt by this Court to permanently enjoin the government from exercising its authority to remove the Petitioner from this country is in direct contradiction to established judicial norms, and a clear error of law.”
The administration deported Abrego Garcia, who they claim is a member of MS-13, a year ago to a prison in his native El Salvador, but he was returned to the U.S. in June to face human smuggling charges in Tennessee related to a 2022 traffic stop despite at first saying the administration had no power to bring him back.
His Lawyers deny he is a member of MS-13.

He was released from detention in December on the grounds that the Trump administration had not obtained the final notice of removal order that is needed to deport him to a third country.
Abrego Garcia, 31, has become a flash point in the national immigration debate since last March, when he was deported to El Salvador in violation of a 2019 court order in what Trump administration officials acknowledged was an “administrative error.”
The Supreme Court later ruled that the administration had to work to bring him back to the U.S.

He has pleaded not guilty on the human smuggling charges and is seeking dismissal of the charges on the grounds of vindictive and selective prosecution.
The 2019 court order prevents Abrego Garcia from being deported to El Salvador after an immigration judge determined he faced danger from a gang that had threatened his family. He immigrated to the U.S. illegally as a teenager and has been under the supervision of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Last month, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis agreed to convert her previous emergency order blocking ICE from immediately re-detaining Abrego Garcia into a longer-term form of injunctive relief sought by his lawyers.
She said that the Trump administration failed to provide the court with any “good reason to believe” that they plan to remove Abrego Garcia to a third country in the “reasonably foreseeable future.” Instead, she said, they “made one empty threat after another to remove him to countries in Africa with no real chance of success.”
Abrego Garcia has said he’s willing to be sent to Costa Rica, but Acting Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons said he will instead be removed to Liberia.
Abrego Garcia’s attorney said in December Abrego was willing to leave for Costa Rica immediately, and that the country had given him asylum status months ago.

The government’s “persistent refusal to acknowledge Costa Rica as a viable removal option, their threats to send Abrego Garcia to African countries that never agreed to take him, and their misrepresentation to the Court that Liberia is now the only country available to Abrego Garcia, all reflect that whatever purpose was behind his detention, it was not for the ‘basic purpose’ of timely third-country removal,” Xinis said in December.
The administration asked the judge to rule on its request to have the injunction dissolved by April 17.
