President Donald Trump’s administration is moving to remove Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the United States, this time sending him to Liberia.
On Friday, the White House filed a motion in the U.S. District Court in Maryland asking a federal judge to lift two injunctions in Abrego Garcia’s case, one preventing his detention and another blocking his removal. It argued that the injunctions are based on legal errors and are no longer equitable, especially because Liberia is willing to accept Garcia, and the court’s own “clear legal errors” are the only impediment to his swift removal.
The court’s memorandum order had failed to acknowledge that its prior injunction against removal is the sole cause of prolonged detention, which it then deemed impermissibly prolonged.
The U.S.’s lawyers wrote that it “presently stands ready, willing, and able” to send the illegal immigrant to Liberia and asked the court to make its decision by April 17th.
