WASHINGTON – Attorneys for accidentally deported Kilmer Abrego Garcia in Maryland, now back to the US, are trying to leave civil cases open to pursue sanctions against the Trump administration after he refused to comply with a US Supreme Court order to promote his return.

“The case is not over until the government takes responsibility for the blatant, intentional, permanent violation of a court order at unbearable costs to Abrego Garcia and his family,” according to Abrego Garcia’s brief. The lawyer filed it on Sunday.

“Injustice in the administrative division, which ignores the judicial division, leaves a taint on the constitution,” they wrote. “If there is hope to remove that dirt, we must start by shedding light on the government’s inappropriate actions in this tragic event and imposing meaningful remedies.”

The Trump administration on Friday moved to dismiss a civil lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Maryland. He argued that it was a controversy after Abrego Galica landed in the US to face criminal charges of “alien smuggling.”

May 21st 2 counts Tennessee’s Great Ju Court indicted, sealed on Friday, Abrego Garcia accused the undocumented people of illegally transporting undocumented people between 2016 and 2025, and illegally transporting undocumented people. The indictment accused him of being a member of the MS-13 gang.

His lawyers are challenging those charges.

Justice Department lawyers moved to deny Abrego Garcia Bond because he was a flight risk and poses a risk to the community.

If convicted, Abrego Garcia could be held in a prison for up to 10 years, with each undocumented person being transported.

“So, given the number of undocumented aliens involved, the revelations of the defendant’s sentences are far beyond the rest of his life,” said Robert E. McGuire, a US lawyer for the Central District of Tennessee. I wrote it.

I was deported to CECOT

Despite protections against removal from his home country since 2019, Abrego Garcia’s family filed a civil lawsuit after he was arrested by immigration officers in March and quickly placed an expelling plane at the infamous MegaPrison in El Salvador.

Abrego Garcia’s arrest in March was not due to criminal charges, but he was informed that his immigration status had changed. The Trump administration admitted his first deportation to the brutal Secott prison was a “administrative error,” but maintained that Abrego Garcia was in custody in El Salvador and could not be taken home.

Trump officials, including President Donald Trump, have repeatedly said Abrego Galica will not return to the United States, and the president appears to have been pissed over the news of his return on Friday.

“He should never have been returned,” Trump said in a joke with an Air Force reporter Friday night. “That’s a disaster.”

On Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondy thanked El Salvador President Naive Buquere after the Trump administration presented an arrest warrant to Abrego Garcia.

“A Decisive Stall Campaign”

The Trump administration argued that civil lawsuits are controversial as Abrego Garcia was brought back to the US on Friday.

However, his lawyers argue that Abrego Garcia was not brought back to Maryland due to a court order as high as the Supreme Court, but “rather than that, Tennessee could be charged with the crime that only developed if the government developed while threatened with sanctions.”

“Two things are now clear: First of all, the government has always had the ability to return Abrego Garcia, but it simply refused to do so,” according to the brief. “Secondly, the government has launched a decisive stall campaign to stem contempt sanctions long enough to create an exit from its politically-saving face-saving plight.”

Maryland District Court Judge Paula Sinis has been handling famous lawsuits since March, but until Wednesday he filed a request for sanctions against the Trump administration with Abrego Garcia’s lawyers.

A lawyer for Abrego Garcia said, “Because we are on the verge of securing answers from knowledgeable officials about what the government actually did and didn’t do to promote Abrego Garcia’s return.

Abrego Garcia will be arrested Friday in federal court in Nashville.
