A legal expert added some much-needed context to a ruling by Chief Justice John Roberts regarding a Maryland man mistakenly deported as a "criminal" to a prison in El Salvador, despite evidence.
Roberts ruled Monday to temporarily block a court order that would have required the Trump administration to return 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego García to the U.S. by 11:59 p.m. Monday. The Justice Department then filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, leading to the Roberts decision.
For now, Garcia will remain in El Salvador.
New York Civil Rights attorney Andrew C. Laufer, Esq. explained on X, "Its a typical procedural stay. Dont look too much into it," but some social media users on the left expressed their outrage.

This is unforgiveable. Worse thing I've ever known as an American. I'm so ashamed.

Worse, it is not just him. Nowhere down the line did anyone but a single attorney refuse to do his bidding.
