Appeals court: Trump’s defiance over man’s deportation is “shocking”

A federal appeals court has upheld a judge’s decision to order sworn testimony by Trump administration officials in the case of a mistakenly deported man. A three-judge panel from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said it’s “shocking” that the administration claims it can’t do anything to free Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvador prison and return him to the U-S. The federal appeals panel raised serious questions about efforts to “stash away residents….in foreign prisons without…due process.” It also warned of the dangers of an escalating conflict between the judiciary and executive branches.
