Drew Ensign, a deputy assistant attorney general, submitted a sealed motion requesting a pause on the judge바카라 게임 웹사이트s order, which requires the government to provide sworn testimony and documents detailing efforts to recover Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Instead, the Justice Department requested a seven-day extension.
The filing came just hours after a Maryland judge accused the administration of a "willful and bad faith refusal to comply." The administration admitted it wrongfully deported Abrego Garcia, calling it an "administrative error," but now claims its hands are tied, saying only El Salvador can send him back.
"I don't think any court can order another nation, a sovereign nation, to take a citizen, a national of their country in their custody and give him back to the U.S.," said U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan.
The Supreme Court has ruled the administration must "facilitate Abrego Garcia's return," and Democrats say the White House is ignoring the rule of law.
"We are in a constitutional crisis right now," said Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Florida.
Last week, a three-judge panel from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals called the administration's claim that it can't do anything to help Abrego Garcia "shocking."
"We have a case where really beyond the question of immigration enforcement, we have basic due process problems that the Trump administration is unwilling to let courts resolve," said Paul Schiff Berman, a law professor at George Washington University.
Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Donald Trump expressed concern that the courts are impeding his immigration crackdown.
"We are getting them out, and a judge can't say, no, you have to have a trial. The trial is going to take two years. We're going to have a very, we're going to have a very dangerous country if we're not allowed to do what we're entitled to do," Trump said.
Legal experts say the Trump administration's actions may land back in the hands of the Supreme Court.
A new Pew Research poll shows that 78% of Americans believe the Trump administration should stop an action if a federal court deems it illegal. The belief is even stronger, 88%, if the Supreme Court were to issue the ruling. This sentiment is shared by 95% of Democrats and 82% of Republicans.
While more than nine in 10 Americans say it's extremely or very important for federal judges to be fair and impartial when deciding cases, only small shares in both parties (17% of Republicans and 14% of Democrats) have a high level of confidence that this is the case.
